That would be a good angle. If she was fired because some "boss" found her sexually attractive, it is sexual harassment.

There is something wrong with losing your job because of someone elses FEELINGS about you.  She should win and a good lawyer should go with the sexual harassment angle.
And if she's distracting the other workers? It might be nothing more than the fact that she's friendly and always stops to hold a conversation with the other workers. It could be she believes she's far more attractive than she actually is, which could raise another set of problems. You've never been in a situation, where a woman believes she's GOD's gift to the males of the species?

"Nelson filed a lawsuit alleging gender discrimination, arguing she would not have been terminated if she was male. She did not allege sexual harassment because Knight's conduct may not have risen to that level and didn't particularly offend her, Fiedler said."

But given what she alleges the Dentist to have said, she could probably add sexual harassment:

He even once told Nelson that if his pants were bulging, she would know her outfits were too revealing, the lawsuit said. And he quipped about her irregular sex life, saying it was "like having a Lamborghini in the garage and never driving it."

Would not be hearsay because Nelson would be testifying that the dentist said those things to her.  It would be hearsay if she were testifying that the dentist made those comments to another person and Nelson had no direct involvement in the conversation, i.e. the other person relayed the conversation to Nelson.

If the dentist denied making the comments, then her testimony might be discredited, but still not hearsay.

True, it is her word against his, but her telling this stuff to the media could get her a slander suit levied against her.
