Woman with big tits unfairly dismissed

An executive woman has alleged that her termination was due to the size of her breasts.

Amy-Erin Blakely has initiated legal action against her previous employer, alleging sexual discrimination related to her bust size.

The 43-year-old reported that she was informed her ‘large breasts’ were a distraction for her coworkers.

She recounted that male employees at a healthcare firm in Orlando, Florida, openly discussed the size of her breasts and suggested she should ‘conceal them’.

It is claimed that senior staff stated that men found it challenging to stay focused in meetings as their attention was diverted to her chest.

Blakely has asserted that she did not dress provocatively to showcase her ample cleavage and maintains that she was terminated after reporting instances of sexual harassment.

To advocate for her compensation case, she has enlisted celebrity attorney Gloria Allred.

Blakely expressed, ‘I am a highly competent professional woman and I asked only to be judged on my merit.

‘Instead, it felt like I was evaluated based on my appearance and the size of my breasts.’

She mentioned that throughout her 13-year tenure at The Devereux Foundation, a non-profit organization that assists families with foster and adoptive care, she received numerous promotions, advancing to the position of Assistant Executive Director.

The onset of sexual harassment occurred five years prior, with Blakely asserting that she was informed she wouldn’t ascend to a higher position due to being deemed ‘too sensual’.

This case bears a resemblance to that of New York City banker Deborah Lee Lorenzana, who alleged her dismissal from Citibank was due to her being ‘too sexy’.

The 33-year-old customer service representative claimed she was terminated because male staff members were distracted by her silicone-enhanced figure.

Blakely indicated that enduring inappropriate remarks about her breasts while at work was a source of significant stress.

She stated, ‘It was truly a nightmare, as each day brought great anxiety and fear that I would either be humiliated, harassed, or lose my job due to my appearance, rather than my actual performance. My performance was exemplary.’
