Super lawyer Gloria Allred cares more about cameras than
clients, according to the buxom banker who sued after getting
canned by Citigroup, allegedly because her assets were a
distraction to co-workers.
Debrahlee Lorenzana, who was fired in 2010, said Allred dropped
her right around the time the press did, leaving her to take on
the bank in arbitration.
“If I could turn back time, I would have not chosen Gloria
Allred as my lawyer,” Lorenzana told the New York Daily News.
Allred now has a similar case, representing Lauren Odes, who
claims her employer tried to get her to “tape her breasts down”
and wear a bathrobe over her skimpy outfits.
“Nobody should be fired because of their physical appearance,”
Lorenzana told the paper. “I feel sorry for the girl.”
But keeping Allred's nose to the grindstone once the press
conferences are over will be a trick, Lorenzana said.
“The only times I saw her (Allred) was when the media was
there,” she said, adding that Allred seemed to just want her to
agree to a quick settlement.
“I thought because she was a woman that she would really fight
for me,” she said.
Allred told the Daily News she and her team “put in hundreds of
hours fighting for her (Lorenzana’s) rights.”
“Due to our legal obligations as attorneys, we were required to
withdraw,” her statement read, noting that “ethical obligations”
bar her from dishing about why lawyer and client parted ways.
