She needs to sue.

It is an equality issue based in ethnic realities, physical realities at times and the right to be fashionable. When men cut their hair or shave their heads it isn't even a question. The bias that a woman has to have hair longer than what Ms. Lee is wearing as her fashion statement is ridiculous. Her hair style is not at all a political statement designed to inspire comment. The viewer obviously wasn't exposed to her reality of idea of appropriate fashion flair and it was not his place to exhibit any hate toward her for being polite and correct. I can't the station actually fired this woman for this reason. This is ridiculous.

KTBS meteorologist (click here) Rhonda Lee was fired last month from her job at ABC’s Shreveport, Louisiana affiliate–a position she had held for almost a year. It was not for anything she said on-air, or in the newsroom. It was for responding to viewer comments online regarding her hair, comments such as these from a viewer identified as Emmitt Vascocu, written on the station’s Facebook page on Oct. 1:...

Excuse me? This is as much a gender issue, fashion freedom as it is an ethnic issue. That is the famous Al Roker. We don't mind he has short or absent hair. Why should anyone be offended by a woman with the same fashion statement. Women have hair loss, too. So, what's the problem!

The model to the right is Chanel Iman. Man, talk about chic.

And then there is the gorgeous Grace Jones.

Get out of my life with this baloney about long hair for women. The eyes have it !!!!!!
