she's hired gloria allred and both of them join me live now from opposite coasts, gloria from l.a., laurenboth of you. this is going to be a very interesting discussion. lauren, first to you. you were hired at the office of a lingerie wholesaler. before you were hired, you asked about the dress code, right? why did you do that and what were you told? >> that's correct. anytime i start a new position at any company, i want to know what the policies are and dress code especially. >> so what were you told? >> i was told basically look around and see what other people in the office were wearing. >> all right. so you claim that your bosses asked you to tape down your breasts, saying they're too distracting. they say you were told to put on a robe to cover yourself. what exactly happened? >> that's all correct information. it was a series of events which ultimately led to me being covered up in a bright red bathrobe. i was given the choice of going out to buy a new outfit or putting on the bathrobe and working for the day. >> what did you think at the time? >> it was preposterous to me, and i wa

once gloria allred is involved. >> what about her involvement? >> it becomes a circus. i have a lot of personal experience with that. once gloria comes in it becomes a media show. i am shocked she is not on your show tonight quite frankly. >> tomorrow on the rothe radio show. >> i knew something was coming. >> i have to go. arthur ad arthur eye dal law i love you both. >> one more thing. i was last night speaking i was proud of this. speaking in if san diego for a benefit of the navy seals family foundation raising money to assist the rufrning warrio -- returning warriors and families reintegrate into civilian life. i am so happy and proud they gave me this wonderful gift. it's a model of the aircraft carrier colvin sent. widen it out. that was the vessel used to bury osama bin laden usto take out t terror mastermind a year ago. it is something i will always treasure. i want to thank jack kennedy and craig irving, courtney they did a wonderful job. of course the incomparable navy seals and service members for their brave service. thank you very much. going to need today?

gloria allred known as the toughest negotiator in hollywood. is going head to head with marty simmer, john travolta's attorney. so whether or not this goes back to court remains to be seen. it is the $4 million question if you like. one thing is for certain i can tell you that gloria allred will be wanting to get the cases settled. >> not the kind of person who goes to court. but dylan, travolta has side stepped these kinds of rumors in the past. how is he going to survive in hollywood now? >> you know, judge, i spoke to a casting agent this week who said john travo kiss goodbye any chance of being cast as a leading man in a hollywood film again and this casting agent used the suggestion that the movie going public really doesn't have the ability to have confidence in him as a leading man now. he doesn't carry that cache if you like. i spoke to an imaging expert who said this is nothing more than noise. travolta has been able to survive these scandals. in 2006 he was photographed on the steps of a private plane kissing a male nanny that worked

so now we get word the first two plaintiffs in the case have gone to gloria allred for representationportedly they dumped first attorney and gone to gloria. joey, gloria allred doesn't try cases she can, doesn't generally try them but settles them because she scares the other side with her media power which is likely to happen in this case, no? >> oh, absolutely. that is very significant advantage to have, when you're going out in the press and she was a measure of credibility with her, obviously there will be some scare tactics that will be used in order to prevent these people from coming forward and saying listen, john travolta did do this, as a result just cut me a check and let us end it now here. megyn: don't you think the plaintiffs would have gone to travolta's attorney, ones coming out of the woodwork, okay, mr. singer, i got a guy too and he is about to come out as well. he has proof. has timeline that works. is it possible they are already cutting checks and there are more plaintiffs about whom we will never know? >> could that be happening? yes. but from the stance that, j

you never hear about follow-ups on these lawsuits that gloria allred represents.ou won gear if they get money and they quiet down. is this how it works? >> this is a loser. listen, husbandy. dark -- hussy. the employer can dictate what you can wear in the workplace. the employer has a right to fire you if your bra sex posed and it doesn't matter when -- bra 1* exposed. she was reading what gloria gave her to say. she doesn't believe what she was saying. >> gloria doesn't choose stickers. i don't know what i'm talking about? >> h is suspicious. no jew would fire a m would for having large breasts. it is not biblical. in the bible it says thou shall not fire a m would because of her breasts. >> the bible i read is "the bible of unspeakable truths" by greg gutfeld. >> have you ever been fired? >> no, actually no, i haven't. this is a big misunderstanding. when they said they fired her for looking foo hot, the second half of the sentence says by looking too hot we mean looking like scandinavian snooki. i believe we have a question for you. >> jesse, congrats on being

she's currently fighting her former lawyer, gloria allred -- >> that gloria is a busy woman. glad to see that the system is working. it's just incredible people have the moxie to say such a thing. angelina jolie, among the world's most beautiful, would you never catch her saying that. beauty is in the eye of the beholder. i've always told you this. >> speaking of hotness. you had a fun lunch yesterday. >> yesterday frank and i went to the greenwich hyatt connecticut that the national multiple sclerosis society of connecticut -- the chapter put on to honor our dear friend meredith and her amazing husband, richard. who has been suffering with ms since he was 25 years old. and the two of them were honored and the two of them spoke. so many of these luncheons and these dinners an things that you go to, they're just sort of cold. you know? you raise money for a good cause and you're gone. this was so moving on so many levels. number one, they're both great speakers. number two, to see the dynamic between the two of them and to see the love that they have for one another was just a

you can't go wrong loving it. >>> attorney gloria allred is back with us and joining us is dean obadallahyour client says she was fired for being too hot. my question for dean is, and we were talking about this before the break, is there a double standard here, dean? would this have ever happened to a man? >> i was fired three times for being attractive. i will probably never be back on cnn after tonight. i used to be a lawyer, the women there felt a lot of pressure to the to be too flashy because they get taken less seriously if they're too pretty. good-looking men tend to move up the ladder much quicker. people gravitate to them. so it is unfair. there is a double standard and it's unfortunate. you should be judged on the merits of your work. but attractive men and women do make more money. >> certainly men make more money than women. >> i apologize. >> gloria, i know you're fighting for your client, lauren, and you believe very strongly in her story. but isn't there something to be said for decorum? aren't there unspoken rules that you should dress appropriately in your job? and isn't

gloria allred in front of the cameras. surprise, surprise. you heard right. fired for being too hot? we'll hear from that woman and her attorney as we continue. q every day, an average of 5,000 people switch from cascade to finish dishwasher detergent. that's about 150,000 a month - over 2 million people so far. with finish quantum you get incredibly clean, sparkling dishes without having to rinse them first. now see for yourself why millions have switched to finish. join the finish revolution. and for two years in a row, finish quantum was rated #1 by a leading consumer publication. you know who you are. you can part a crowd, without saying a word. you have yet to master the quiet sneeze. you stash tissues like a squirrel stashes nuts. well, muddlers, muddle no more. try zyrtec®. it gives you powerful allergy relief. and zyrtec® is different than claritin® because zyrtec® starts working at hour 1 on the first day you take it. claritin® doesn't start working until hour 3. zyrtec®. love the air. sit too hot for the job. >> she claims he lost her job in a lin

obviously, she's got gloria allred, she's looking for money out of this. been a set up potentially? maybe she went in and maybe she didn't do her work, maybe on top of which it appears she was brought in by a temp agency. so perhaps she was only going to be brought in for a couple of days of work. perhaps none of the things she said happened actually happened. we don't know at this point. >> i agree, look, as a criminal defense attorney, you always want to hear both sides. she seems like the type of woman that likes to put herself out there, we all know about gloria allred. but take a look at the quotes from the employers in the paper. they responded by not issuing denials but saying, hey, we're a religious jewish/orthodox firm. somewhere out there is an underwriter reading those comments and putting his head on his forehead -- gregg: yeah. what about that, annemarie? i read those comments also, and i was thinking, don't say that. [laughter] >> i know. >> offer yourself up to a religious discrimination suit too. gregg: yeah. i was thinking about that too.

drinking game, you know, who wants to take bets of when we're going to have the first appearance of gloria allred? it's inevitable. i'm getting off the point a little bit here. but at some point i think it was around the time of the o.j. case where you had this confluence of a big public figure, it was a juicy trial, and cable news was just becoming a force. it changed the environment in which we operate, at least criminal system operates. because it's not just cases anymore, it's entertainment. it's a whole media frenzy on big cases. and i don't think that's a very good thing, but that is the environment in which we operate. and lawyers have to deal with that now. >> a very good point. we have some questions from the audience. i'm going to ask the first one for paulette. in taking tony's essence, who he is as a trial lawyer, how does you tell that story in the book? paulette's book is for sale in the lobby and also at green arcade books here in san francisco. how did you do that? you used your art, obviously, and you used writings. but how did you tell that story? what was your hook? >> well, i
