JAY-Z and the 40/40 Club in New York are facing legal action from a woman who alleges she was fired because she was pregnant. Folake Ogundiran, who worked as a sales assistant at the club, has filed a discrimination lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court in which she claims she was told not to turn up for work after telling a female supervisor she was expecting a baby.

She “barred from entering the workplace” two days later. The suit says she was fired because her pregnant status would be “inconsistent” with the “young, fashionable, unattached, and sexy” image 40/40 wants to project.
