Christopher Burch Employee Allegedly Fired For NOT Being Gay

This is a weird turn of events.

A former employee who worked for Christopher Burch, Tory Burch's ex-husband and business partner, claims he was fired for NOT being gay.

Say what, now??

Jamie Ardigo says Burch told him:

"[He] only hired gay men because they were productive and he trusted them."

Ardigo has now filed a $1 million lawsuit in Manhattan against Burch, stating he found his comments to be "extremely offensive" and "inappropriate."

Naturally, Burch's attorney denies the allegations, adding they are:

"…prepared to mount a vigorous defense."

Oh boy. This is definitely a first. Only in fashion though, right??
