Well this was kinda weird...

Anyway how can you fire someone for looks if they are not models or likewise?
Besides it's like saying "Oh man! There's porn on the internet and i bet all of the men are looking at it! TURN OFF THE INTERNET!!! (yea i know)

Well she is extremely sexy, but saying she was fired due to being too hot is just smug and completely ridiculous

I could believe it. If your male underlings are too busy rubbernecking the hired help to get to work, you find yourself in the awkward position of either firing the distraction or firing the entire rest of your workforce. If you're a good boss, and not terrified that you might be held accountable for sexual harassment (read: braver than most) you'll at least bring up the problem with her first and see if she's able to tone it down.

Judging by how she went off to do a photo shoot upon being fired, I get the feeling this gal is too much the diva to listen to her bosses attempts to get her to tone it down, so enjoy unemployment life, Missy. Aw, don't be sad, she's probably got rich geeks pounding down her door with offers of marriage. She'll probably end up inheriting her own company at this rate.

When I read the title, I was cynical, but after reading that article, it seems that the only word for what they were doing to her is 'abuse'.

For a banker, she is achingly gorgeous. It doesn't surprise me that male bank employees couldn't concentrate around her, the stereotype isn't exactly known for it's open thinking...

Plus for her, maybe her new career as a model just took off.

Yeah, she's hot. I will even give that it would be appropriate to ask specifically to not dress provocatively. But this is ridiculous. I'm thinking that a lot of people didn't actually read the article. People, shes not wearing a bikini to work, then complaining when she gets unwanted attention. She is wearing business suits. Shes wearing cloths more conservative then her counterparts. Hell, she was told that she was required to straighten her hair to decrease her sexual appeal. If curly hair spells the difference between being okay, and rendering your male counterparts incapable of doing there job, then they have serious fetish or sexual issues that they need to discuss with a therapist. And it's not a matter of workplace performance: Shes getting awards and praise for her work left and right. Yes, there are bigger injustices out there. She got a few jobs more easily. And comparatively, one instance of being tricked into looking at a penis, growing up as a poor immigrant, and being forced into unemployment thanks to being fired for being attractive isn't the worst hard luck story in the world. But it still sucks, and she is absolutely right to sue. The silliness of this issue is clearly the banks fault.

That sounds a lot like, "She was wearing that low cut dress, she was just asking for it" at a sexual assault trial.

If she's so hot, why not just model?
Wow that is a pretty lady. Hey! You got a point there! If tyra banks is a model that she certainly has a good chance.

Get the hell over yourself, jeez.

Maybe they fired you because you weren't good enough for your job? That ever cross your mind?
