Is it possible that a woman could be so sexy, even in a conservative business suit, that no men in the office can get any work done?

That is precisely why Debbie Lorenzana claims in her wrongful termination suit that she was fired from her job at Citibank-- her bosses told her they couldn't concentrate on their work because her appearance was “too distracting”.

Lorenzana, a 33-year-old single mom, pointed out female colleagues whose clothing was far more revealing than hers:

"They said their body shapes were different from mine, and I drew too much attention," she says.

"Men are kind of drawn to her," says Tanisha Ritter, a friend and former colleague who also works as a banker and praises Lorenzana's work habits.

"I've seen men turn into complete idiots around her. But it's not her fault that they act this way, and it shouldn't be her problem”, a Village Voice story reports.

Lorenzana's gender discrimination suit was dismissed last month because her deal with Citibank called for any disputes to be settled in private arbitration. She's pressing on with her case there.

"Are you saying that just because I look this way genetically, that this should be a curse for me?" she told the Village Voice, which first reported her case.

In a statement, Citibank said, "We believe this lawsuit is without merit and we will defend against it vigorously."
