Fired For Being 'Too Hot,' What Happens Next?

Updated




An office worker at a lingerie warehouse claims she was fired for her busty physique and form-fitting outfits. With celebrity attorney Gloria Allred by her side, Lauren Odes announced on Monday that she had filed a complaint with the federal government for gender and religious discrimination.

Several women have gone through this: the media frenzy, the mocking comments, and the lengthy and quiet fight.
