Debrahlee Lorenzana hasn't stopped making the media rounds in the wake of her highly-publicized lawsuit against Citigroup in which she claims she was fired for being too good-looking.

The New York Post reported this morning that Lorenzana was told by her current employer, JPMorgan Chase, that she may be fired her for her very public campaign against Citigroup.

Lorenzana told the "Today Show" that she only filed suit against Citigroup after a lifetime of mistreatment for her appearance. "What I'm trying to make is a point that enough is enough," Lorenzana said. "I've been through my entire life going through [this] harassment."

"There's a point where you say I don't want to go through this any more," she added. "So, now I'm trying something different."

A Citigroup spokesperson said: "Ms. Lorenzana has chosen to make numerous unfounded accusations and inaccurate statements against Citibank and several of our employees. While we will not discuss the details of her case, we can say that her termination was solely performance-based and not at all related to her appearance or attire. We are confident that when all of the facts and documentation are presented, the claim will be dismissed.")

Now says she faces the firing line again from her bosses at Chase for sullying the reputation of the financial industry.

The Queens stunner said she was told that if she went ahead with scheduled television interviews today to talk about her suit, she'd once again be without a job.

"They asked me if I was going to proceed. They said if I kept talking, it was grounds for termination," Lorenzana, 33, told The Post yesterday.
