Former Tiffany employee alleges company pushed her out over gene mutation


A former employee of Tiffany & Co. says the jewelry maker pushed her out after she had her breasts and ovaries removed to avoid getting cancer. O'Rourke said she decided to sue, and speak about her experience, because she wants to spread the word to Tiffany's many female customers, especially high-profile women affected by breast cancer. She specifically cited Angelina Jolie, who has been photographed in Tiffany, and Lady Gaga, who's starring in a new Tiffany ad and has spoken about a close friend stricken with breast cancer. Would they really want to support a company who treats an employee like that? Jolie had her breasts removed in 2013 after discovering she carries a different gene mutation associated with higher breast cancer risk.
