East Brunswick Native Claims She Was Fired For Being 'Too Hot'

A Hoboken woman is suing her former employer after being terminated for being too busty, she told several news outlets in a press conference. Lauren Odes, 29, a self-described enterpreneur who also dabbled as a bartender, said that she was let go from her job selling lingerie at Manhattan-based Native Intimates for being too sexy.

Odes, a Hoboken resident and an East Brunswick native, didn't immediately return a request for comment on Tuesday.     

Odes said during her press conference on Monday that she was asked to "tape down her breasts" and told to wear a red robe to hide her provocative outfit and curvy figure. Before she started the data-entry job at the Orthodox-Jewish owned lingerie firm, she said she asked her bosses what the dress code was. 

Odes, who showed off her impressive physique—5-foot-2 with large breasts—during Monday's press conference, said she only worked at the lingerie firm for a few days.

Gloria Allred, who has filed a gender- and religious-discrimination complaint on behalf of Odes, said on Monday that "no woman should be told that her breasts are too large, her body too appealing and her appearance too attractive for the male leadership of that company."

Allred called Odes' treatment especially ironic, because of the many mannequins in sexy lingerie all over the Native Intimates office. 

Odes said that her treatment was "very shocking, very humiliating."
