Debrahlee Lorenzana wants New York State Division of Human Rights to investigate Citibank
| A new front has opened in the war between sexy banker Debrahlee Lorenzana and Citigroup. The voluptuous Citi stunner is calling on the state Division of Human Rights to investigate her claim she was fired after complaining that male coworkers couldn't control themselves around her rockin' bod. Wearing a very tight Zara pencil skirt and 6-inch heels that she says would be banned at the bank, Lorenzana returned to the media spotlight with her new lawyer, TV talking head Gloria Allred. "No woman should have to suffer what Debrahlee has had to endure," Allred said Monday. "And we are here to let Citibank know that we will fight back against this financial giant and we will win." Lorenzana made headlines last month with her suit against City, which she says sacked her for wearing outfits that showed off her ample assets. In front of reporters from "Inside Edition" and "Nightline," the curvy Queens mom broke into tears as she recounted her sexual harassment saga - but her makeup never ran. "It didn't matter what I did," she said. "I was a target to them." Citibank insists she was fired because of "poor performance" and took a swat at her media campaign. "Although we can't speak to her previous attention-seeking activities, her current attempts to gain personal publicity are as transparent as her legal claims," it said in a statement. "We remain confident that when all of the facts and documentation are presented, the claim will be dismissed." Lorenzana says she's no fame-seeker - despite her star turn in a 2003 show about plastic surgery in which she gushed about looking like a Playboy Playmate and giggled that she craved to be "t--s on a stick." "If I wanted a career in the star industry, I would not have gone to get my licenses as an investment banker," said Lorenzana, who worked as a personal banker at two Citi branches until her 2009 ouster. The Latina lovely - who now works at a Chase branch in Brooklyn - hired Allred after parting ways with her first lawyer, Jack Tuckner. The split came within days of the Daily News reporting that Lorenzana was a plastic-surgery fan who yearned to be a cross between Pamela Anderson and Carmen Electra. "With that show, I was very young, and I was directed by the director of the show on how they wanted it to be done," she said. "Now I learned my lesson, especially with media and TV." Lorenzana also said she got cosmetic surgery because she wanted her body to look as it did before she gave birth to a son. "There's nothing wrong with that," she said. "There are millions of women out there - that's their thing." Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/201 ... z0sAPesMMT |
