‘Lawyer of Love’ Columnist Files Sex Harassment Suit Against Playboy

A Chicago lawyer who posed nude for Playboy and wrote its “Lawyer of Love” column has filed a sexual harassment suit against the magazine.

Lawyer Corri Fetman claims in her $4.5 million suit that she lost her writing gig with Playboy after rebuffing the sexual advances of an executive there, the Chicago Tribune’s media group reports. Fetman claims digital executive Thomas Hagopian sent her sexually explicit e-mail and groped her before pulling her column, the story says.

Fetman was previously in the news when she posed in racy attire on a billboard promoting her divorce law firm. The billboard's message read: "Life's Short, Get a Divorce."

Playboy spokeswoman Elizabeth Austin told the Tribune that it takes the allegations seriously and will investigate the matter. She said Hagopian left the company last year.
