NEW YORK – A woman has filed a lawsuit against her former bosses, who she claims sacked her for being ‘too hot’ at work.

Lauren Odes who worked at a business in midtown Manhattan has alleged that her bosses meted out discriminatory, profoundly humiliating and unlawful treatment to her.

“When my supervisor asked me to tape down my breasts I asked my supervisor, are you kidding?” 7online.com quoted her as saying.

The 29-year-old was appalled by the suggestion and what happened at the 5th Avenue headquarters of Native Intimate’s, a wholesale lingerie business.

According to Odes’ attorney, Gloria Allred, “The treatment was discriminatory, profoundly humiliating and unlawful.”

The allegations of gender and religious discrimination were spelled out in the complaint currently filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The voluptuous blond was hired on April 24th to coordinate shipments of sample to customers and maintained that her supervisors repeatedly complained about her physical appearance and attire, even though she insists there was no dress code, as co-workers wore tank tops, and were casually dressed.

When she wore a short sleeve purple dress on day two of her job she was allegedly told that the company’s Orthodox Jewish Owners felt the piece was drawing too much attention and should not be worn for her “own safety.”
