Amy Erin Blakely and her attorney, Gloria Allred, spoke with FOX

A female executive is suing her employer for alleged comments about her breasts. Amy Erin Blakely claims her "full figure" had not only led to continuous inappropriate remarks, but also kept her from promotions.

In one instance Blakely's employer allegedly told her that other employees could not concentrate in meetings because of her "big breasts" and that she should try to hide her breasts because they were too distracting.

Amy Erin Blakely and her attorney, Gloria Allred, spoke with FOX 11 News about the case. You can watch that video in the media player.

Robert Kreider, President and CEO of Devereux Florida, responded with this statement:

"(The allegations) are purposefully inflammatory, and either spurious or twisted in content and context. In no way do these allegations represent the truth about our organization or our staff, but here is what does. We have a deep and abiding respect for women in our organization, as evidenced by the fact that more than 50 percent of our senior leadership team is female."
