A New Jersey woman is getting a lot of attention this week after claiming she was fired from her job for being too busty, according to a Monday report.

Lauren Odes said a manager at Native Intimates, a lingerie company in Manhattan, told her to tape her breasts down and a supervisor said the store owners did not like her outfit because it was too distracting, according to Good Morning America .

Odes reportedly said she was told to look at what others were wearing when she asked about the dress code and she noticed it ranged from very casual athletic wear to business attire.

GMA said Odes wore a gray T-shirt and jeggings with rain boots, but was told to tape down her breasts and to cover up more.

After that, a supervisor allegedly pulled out a bathrobe with images of guitars on it and asked Odes to wear it.

Then the supervisor told her she could go buy a sweater that went down to her ankles instead of wearing the bathrobe, according to the article.

As she went to go find a sweater, Odes apparently said she was called and fired.

She has now filed a lawsuit against the company claiming sexual discrimination.

Odes is also reportedly claiming religious discrimination against the company, which she said is owned by Orthodox Jews. Read more .
