A black former waitress at a Baltimore Hooters is claiming she was fired due to the blonde highlights she put in her hair.
Farryn Johnson told WJZ that white waitresses are allowed to have highlights in their hair, but the African-American waitresses are not.
'They gave me write-ups and they told me I need to take the color out of my hair,' the 25-year-old said. 'And they said I couldn't have blonde in my hair because I'm black. They specifically said, 'Black women don't have blonde in their hair, so you need to take it out.''
The former waitress reportedly hired a lawyer and filed a racial discrimination complaint with the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights.
Hooters has declined to comment, pending the current litigation.
