   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.
