A fired NBC employee claims a recruiter who initially contacted her for a job as an audio-visual coordinator told her NBC “specifically asked for good-looking employees”— and wanted to see pictures before she could get her foot in the door. He finally told Belanger he had to fire her or his girlfriend would break up with him. At the same time, Belanger, who has epilepsy, suffered two seizures at work, one last year and one this year. Belanger declined comment, but her lawyer, Daniel Kaiser, said the company’s apparent desire for attractive employees helped create a toxic workplace, he said. “NBC wanted good-looking employees, and she’s a very pretty girl,” he said of Belanger.
