The waitress who was rejected from her "dream job" as a bikini waitress at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone is now being accused of advertising herself as a Craigslist prostitute by lawyers for the restaurant chain. 21-year-old Melody Morales has filed a million dollar lawsuit against HTZ because a manager at the Times Square eatery rejected her application because he said that she had a "speech problem." The problem? It was "too ghetto."
Yesterday lawyers for the TroZo filed a motion for dismissal after claiming that Morales's picture appears on "very filthy," "unacceptable" and "improper" Web sites, where she presents herself in "an erotic way," according to the Post. These sites included postings on Craiglist for "companionship services," although it was unclear just what section she posted them in. When a judge asked if that meant the defense was accusing her of prostitution, the lawyer said, "Potentially that might be the case."
Morales' attorney did not deny the existence of said online photos, but told the judge that several of her pictures had been stolen from her website and put up on escort service sites. The News says that her lawyer "insisted all Morales wanted was a job where could wear a bikini to show off her ample assets."
The lawyer for Hawaiian Tropic Zone told the judge that forty percent of the waitresses at the restaurant were Latina, but said when it came to Morales, "This woman speaks in a way that's unacceptable to the management and the staff." As of the last report, Morales's vernacular was able to get her a waitressing job at an Ossining bikini bar up in Westchester.





puta sucia...
I still don't understand this, why should she be able to sue and think she has a chance over this? If I go into a job interview and cannot hold a conversion and use real words, I don't expect to get the job. She should just give up and become a stripper anyway.
Presumably she is filing it under the massive umbrella of "discrimination."
It's pretty sad actually that something like is even allowed to be filed, and that it is now gumming up our courts.
Even sadder is that I wouldn't be surprised to see her come away from this with a lot of money (either by out of court settlement or court awarded cash).
Sigh.
this story is a mouthful.
I feel sorry for the poor girl. She has to travel all the way up to Ossining to get a job. I sure hope she doesn't work the late shift. Can you imagine what time it would be before she came home to her loving mother and father in the morning?
But then again jobs are hard to find and the commute is tax deductible, so it's probably a good career move on her part.

She was a bikini waitress, not a stripper.
It's pretty much common knowledge that the pictures on those Craigslist ads are rarely of the person actually advertising. Usually they're just copied pics of obscure models. Or so I've heard.
Do I have to buy her mouth? Can't I just rent it for awhile?
Why not, however I would give it a thorough cleaning before moving in...
She's sewing because SHE made a mistake: Her being too ghetto.
Let's face it we've been living under a huge entitlement system for a long time now, say, ever since Social Security and Medicare was introduced. Heck! Ever since the New Deal!
The height of all this would be someone sewing for not being qualified for a job... oh, forgot we already have affirmative action.
I don't get it. You're saying she's some kind of seamstress or something? How is that significant?
Could he have meant "You reap what you sew"? Probably not.
Fuck this whore.
"Oh its so terrible, but give me some money and everything will be all right"
Get on the pole bitch!
why doesn't she get a real job like the rest of us, sounds like she wants easy money. I would not give her a penny or take her for free ... another waste of space.
