Playboy's former fashion director Joseph DeAcetis filed a $4 million lawsuit claiming he was fired from the magazine "because of his sexual orientation and age," the Post reports. According to the lawsuit, DeAcetis's boss, editorial director Christopher Napolitano, "referred to plaintiff and other homosexuals as 'girls' and laughed at [him] because of his enjoyment of baseball because it was not a girl sport." Napolitano was also, the lawsuit charges, upset about DeAcetis's appearance on WPIX's morning show (see video of one here), saying DeAcetis's "grey hair was visible" and that he "looked old." DeAcetis claims his work was praised by executives (including daughter of Hef Christine Hefner), but that his "duties [were] being slowly stripped away and handed over to his 27-year-old straight male assistant and a 38-year-old straight female fashion editor." Playboy tells the Post it "takes these allegations very seriously" and has been looking into the matter.
