Debrahlee Lorenzana says her no-account bosses fired her over her looks 
  
 Everything about Debrahlee Lorenzana is hot. Even her name sizzles. At five-foot-six and 125 pounds, with soft eyes and flawless bronze skin, she is J.Lo curves meets Jessica Simpson rack meets Audrey Hepburn elegance—a head-turning beauty. 
  
 In many ways, the story of her life has been about getting attention from men—both the wanted and the unwanted kind. But when she got fired last summer from her job as a banker at a Citibank branch in Midtown—her bosses cited her work performance—she got even hotter. She sued Citigroup, claiming that she was fired solely because her bosses thought she was too hot. 
  
 This is the way Debbie Lorenzana tells it: Her bosses told her they couldn't concentrate on their work because her appearance was too distracting. They ordered her to stop wearing turtlenecks. She was also forbidden to wear pencil skirts, three-inch heels, or fitted business suits. Lorenzana, a 33-year-old single mom, pointed out female colleagues whose clothing was far more revealing than hers: "They said their body shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention," she says. 
  
 As Lorenzana's lawsuit puts it, her bosses told her that "as a result of the shape of her figure, such clothes were purportedly 'too distracting' for her male colleagues and supervisors to bear." 
  
 "Men are kind of drawn to her," says Tanisha Ritter, a friend and former colleague who also works as a banker and praises Lorenzana's work habits. "I've seen men turn into complete idiots around her. But it's not her fault that they act this way, and it shouldn't be her problem." 
  
 Because Citibank made Lorenzana sign a mandatory-arbitration clause as a condition of her employment, the case will never end up before a jury or judge. An arbitrator will decide. Citibank officials won't comment on the suit. 
  
 Her attorney, Jack Tuckner, who calls himself a "sex-positive" women's-rights lawyer, is the first one to say his client is a babe. But so what? For him, it all boils down to self-control. "It's like saying," Tuckner argues, "that we can't think anymore 'cause our penises are standing up—and we cannot think about you except in a sexual manner—and we can't look at you without wanting to have sexual intercourse with you. And it's up to you, gorgeous woman, to lessen your appeal so that we can focus!" 
  
 This isn't your typical sexual-harassment lawsuit, if there is such a thing. For one thing, such suits often claim that women are coerced into looking more sexy or are subjected to being pawed. Lorenzana claims that her bosses basically told her she was just too attractive. And when she raised hell and refused to do anything about it—as if there was anything she really could do about it—she lost her job. 
  
 Debbie Lorenzana—whose mother is Puerto Rican and father is Italian—came to New York from Puerto Rico 12 years ago. She was 21 and pregnant, and had a degree as an emergency medical technician from a technical college in Manatí, a small city on the northern coast. The father, she says, didn't want to have anything to do with her or the baby. So she moved back to the States, where she had lived in her mid-teens (pinballing between relatives' houses and group homes), and took care of her elderly grandparents in Connecticut. After her son was born, she moved to Queens to stay with a friend. Then she got her first job in finance: working as a sales representative at the Municipal Credit Union, in 2002. She moved to Jersey City and worked long hours. She was successful. 
  
 In April 2003, the Municipal Credit Union named her its sales rep of the month. On the other hand, she says, a manager once called her into his office to ask her opinion of a photograph. The picture he called up on his computer was of his penis. She complained about the incident. In her June 2003 resignation letter—written just two months after she was honored as a top employee—she wrote, "Due to the complaint I made regarding sexual harassment, my work environment has become hostile, painful, and unbearable." 
  
 She moved on to other jobs in the financial-services industry. After a stint selling health insurance to immigrants at Metropolitan Hospital in Queens, the hospital cited her in November 2003 for "providing world-class customer service" and for being the number one enroller in the office. 
  
 In August 2006, the district managers at Bank of America gave her a Customer Higher Standards Award on diploma paper, on which they wrote: "Debrahlee: You deserve to be recognized for going above and beyond." 
  
 She says she loved to work, and eventually was earning close to $70,000 a year. "My ex-boyfriend says it's my Spic pride," she says. "As long as I have two hands and two legs, and can still walk, I will always work, so my son will have a roof over his head and food." 
  
 And she will be well-dressed. Lorenzana is, by her own admission, a shopaholic. She shops for her work clothes at Zara, but when she has money, she says, she spends it on designer clothes. She has five closets full of Burberry, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, and Roberto Cavalli. In her son's closet, there's a row of tiny Lacoste, Dolce & Gabbana, and Ralph Lauren T-shirts. She says her love of fine clothes is a result of her growing up poor—she recalls running a high school marathon barefoot because she couldn't afford sneakers. |||||
A summary of this is?
– A former banker is suing Citibank for firing her because she's "too hot" and was distracting male workers, she argues in court documents. Citibank managers officially cited Debrahlee Lorenzana's poor work performance when she got the ax. But the 33-year-ol single Queens mom says she was told repeatedly she was "too distracting," and told not to wear clothing (like turtlenecks) that were worn by other, less curvaceous, female co-workers. "It's like saying, "We can't look at you without wanting to have sexual intercourse with you. And it's up to you, gorgeous woman, to lessen your appeal so that we can focus," her attorney, Jack Tuckner, tells the Village Voice. Citibank says the suit is without merit. A pal says Debrahlee always turns heads. Says Debrahlee: "I can't help the way I look." For lots of pix of the bodacious banker, click here.
Här är en nyhetsartikel: Från och med 1996 har Alexa Internet donerat sina krypdata till Internet Archive. Dessa data flödar in varje dag och läggs till i Wayback Machine efter en embargoperiod. Är den här kvinnan för het för att vara bankir? Debrahlee Lorenzana säger att hennes chefer sparkade henne över hennes utseende Allt med Debrahlee Lorenzana är hett. Till och med hennes namn fräser. Vid 1,5 meter och 125 pounds, med mjuka ögon och felfri brons hud, är hon J.Lo kurvor möter Jessica Simpson rack möter Audrey Hepburn elegans-en huvudvändande skönhet. På många sätt har historien om hennes liv handlat om att få uppmärksamhet från män – både den önskade och den oönskade sorten. Men när hon fick sparken förra sommaren från sitt jobb som bankir på en Citibank-filial i Midtown – hennes chefer citerade hennes arbetsprestation – blev hon ännu hetare. Hon stämde Citigroup och hävdade att hon fick sparken enbart för att hennes chefer tyckte att hon var för het. Så här berättar Debbie Lorenzana: Hennes chefer sa till henne att de inte kunde koncentrera sig på sitt arbete eftersom hennes utseende var för distraherande. De beordrade henne att sluta bära polotröja. Hon förbjöds också att bära pennkjolar, tretumsklackar, eller monterade affärsdräkter. Lorenzana, en 33-årig ensamstående mamma, pekade ut kvinnliga kollegor vars kläder var mycket mer avslöjande än hennes: "De sa att deras kroppsformer var annorlunda än mina, och jag drog för mycket uppmärksamhet", säger hon. Som Lorenzanas stämning uttrycker det, sa hennes chefer till henne att "till följd av formen på hennes figur, påstods sådana kläder vara alltför distraherande för hennes manliga kollegor och arbetsledare att bära." "Män är liksom dragna till henne", säger Tanisha Ritter, en vän och före detta kollega som också arbetar som bankir och berömmer Lorenzanas arbetsvanor. "Jag har sett män förvandlas till idioter runt henne. Men det är inte hennes fel att de agerar så här, och det borde inte vara hennes problem." Eftersom Citibank fick Lorenzana att skriva på en klausul om tvångsarbitering som villkor för sin anställning kommer målet aldrig att hamna inför en jury eller domare. En skiljeman avgör. Citibanks tjänstemän kommenterar inte stämningen. Hennes advokat, Jack Tuckner, som kallar sig "sexpositiv" kvinnorättsadvokat, är den första som säger att hans klient är en babe. Men än sen? För honom handlar det om självbehärskning. "Det är som att säga", argumenterar Tuckner, "att vi inte kan tänka längre eftersom våra penisar står upp – och vi kan inte tänka på dig annat än på ett sexuellt sätt – och vi kan inte titta på dig utan att vilja ha samlag med dig. Och det är upp till dig, vackra kvinna, att minska din vädjan så att vi kan fokusera!" Det här är inte din typiska sextrakasserier-rättegång. För det första hävdar sådana kostymer ofta att kvinnor tvingas se sexigare ut eller utsätts för att bli pawed. Lorenzana hävdar att hennes chefer i princip sa att hon var för attraktiv. Och när hon reste helvetet och vägrade att göra något åt det – som om det fanns något hon verkligen kunde göra åt det – förlorade hon sitt jobb. Debbie Lorenzana – vars mor är puertorican och far är italienare – kom till New York från Puerto Rico för 12 år sedan. Hon var 21 år och gravid, och hade en examen som akutmedicinsk tekniker från en teknisk högskola i Manatí, en liten stad vid den norra kusten. Fadern, säger hon, ville inte ha något med henne eller barnet att göra. Hon flyttade därför tillbaka till Staterna, där hon hade bott i mitten av tonåren (pinballing mellan släktingars hus och grupphem), och tog hand om sina äldre morföräldrar i Connecticut. Efter att sonen fötts flyttade hon till Queens för att bo hos en väninna. Därefter fick hon sitt första jobb inom finans: att arbeta som försäljningsrepresentant på Kommunala Kreditförbundet, 2002. Hon flyttade till Jersey City och arbetade långa timmar. Hon var framgångsrik. I april 2003 gav Kommunalkreditföreningen henne sitt månadens säljare. Å andra sidan, säger hon, kallade en chef en gång in henne på sitt kontor för att fråga henne om hennes åsikt om ett fotografi. Bilden han ringde upp på datorn var på hans penis. Hon klagade på händelsen. I sitt avskedsbrev från juni 2003 – skrivet bara två månader efter att hon hedrats som en toppanställd – skrev hon: "På grund av det klagomål jag framförde om sexuella trakasserier har min arbetsmiljö blivit fientlig, smärtsam och outhärdlig." Hon övergick till andra arbeten inom finanstjänstebranschen. Efter att ha sålt sjukförsäkring till invandrare på Metropolitan Hospital i Queens, citerade sjukhuset henne i november 2003 för "att tillhandahålla kundservice i världsklass" och för att vara den främsta inskrivning på kontoret. I augusti 2006 gav distriktscheferna på Bank of America henne en Customer Higher Standards Award på diplompapper, på vilken de skrev: "Debrahlee: Du förtjänar att bli erkänd för att gå utöver och bortom." Hon säger att hon älskade att arbeta, och till slut tjänade hon nästan 70.000 dollar om året. "Min ex-pojkvän säger att det är min Spic pride", säger hon. »Så länge jag har två händer och två ben och ännu kan gå, skall jag alltid arbeta, så att min son får tak över huvudet och mat.» Och hon kommer att vara välklädd. Lorenzana är, enligt hennes egen ingivelse, shopaholiker. Hon handlar för sina arbetskläder på Zara, men när hon har pengar, säger hon, spenderar hon dem på designerkläder. Hon har fem garderober fulla av Burberry, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, och Roberto Cavalli. I hennes sons garderob finns en rad små Lacoste, Dolce & Gabbana, och Ralph Lauren T-shirts. Hon säger att hennes kärlek till fina kläder är ett resultat av hennes uppväxt fattiga – hon minns att hon sprang en high school maraton barfota eftersom hon inte hade råd med gymnastikskor.
