A reporter who was fired because of her second job as a stripper has filed a complaint against her former newspaper employer, alleging sex discrimination.

Sarah Tressler, 30, was working as a society and general assignment reporter for the Houston Chronicle and was writing an anonymous blog entitled "Diary of an Angry Stripper" when another publication, the Houston Press, revealed her part-time profession, according to a Reuters article.

She said the major market newspaper fired her "because of a claim that I did not disclose on my employment application that I worked as an exotic dancer."

"I feel that women should not be denied other employment because they have worked as exotic dancers, " Tressler said. Full story.

Wrongful firing, yes or no?
