It made Good Morning America, Gloria Alred is her attorney. She was outed by the Houston Press. Apparently doing it for 8 years.

Hard working young woman, holding down three jobs. She also teaches at U of H.

One comment from the public: her boss must have been a woman.

You just have to love sweeps week. All three TV stations have also picked it up.

She's been doing it for 8 years. What they need to do is to check into the person that found out and turned her in. What were they doing there?

This there a place to donate to cover her legal fees. Aside from the one dollar at a time format?

I looked all over the place for a "dollar at a time" donation thingie, and then suddenly I figured it out. Too soon old, too late smart.

And years ago I supposedly had a girlfriend who was a stripper, but that's a whole 'nother story.

I have no idea of what you are talking about. Not a clue. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I don't get it...

In a right to work state like Texas, it's very hard to prevail in a lawsuit like this. We will have to see what happens. This one is a little strange so it may not disappear from the news as quickly as most.

In a one-page EEOC complaint, Tressler wrote that she was terminated "because my prior activity as an adult dancer was not disclosed when I applied for the job. I believe that the stated reason for my termination was pretextual in that I answered the questions that were put to me truthfully in connection with my application for employment. The true reason for my termination was discrimination on account of my gender.''

If she can show that the company didn't fire male employees they knew were exotic dancers and/or that they fired all the women at the company, that's good evidence the "termination was discrimination on account of [her] gender." In that case I hope she wins big.

If she can't show either of those, I hope the judge or jury makes her pay all of the company's legal expenses to defend against her lawsuit. I also hope future employers google her when she applies for a job and take appropriate measures to prevent being sued.
