Mom who posed for Playboy’s ‘Hot Housewives’ edition sues former boss, Charter Communications for firing her after shoot

Nydailynews.com - A Minn. mother is suing her former employer after she claims she was fired from her job — despite clearing the racy shoot with her boss ahead of time.

Jessica Zelinske, 33, from Kasson, Minn., appeared in the Sept.-Oct. 2011 issues of Playboy's "Hot Housewives" issue, wearing a cleavage-bearing top. But her boss wasn't happy with that.

According to a complaint filed at the Dodge County Courts Tuesday, Zelinske cleared the shoot with her boss, Timothy McBeain, at Charter Communications.

Zelinske then attended a casting call with the naughty magazine in Chicago in January of 2011, beating out 400 Playboy hopefuls. Three months later, she was scheduled in a photo shoot in Chicago with photographer Sherwin Samaniego.

The issue was published in July of that year, and by Sept., Zelinske alleges that McBeain fired her, citing a violation of the company' "common decency" policy.

McBeain told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Tuesday that his attorney discouraged any comment about the active litigation.

His company, Connecticut-based Charter Communications, is also named in the suit.

Attorneys for Zelinske and McBeain did not immediately respond to the Daily News' request for comment.
