Last we heard, the James Madison High School "lesbian tryst" teachers were claiming that they weren't engaging in sexual conduct on school ground, rather, one of them was giving the other an insulin shot (a sexy, shirtless insulin shot). Alini Brito, who was fired last week, says co-worker Cindy Mauro was simply checking her blood sugar, but state arbitrator Mary Crangle ruled that "there is no possible medical, nonsexual assistance that a partially naked person could possibly be rendering to another naked person in the position described." Brito's next move: lawsuit!
According to the Daily News, Brito wants her job back, and claims a surveillance tape would watch more like Grey's Anatomy and less like Girls Gone Wild. She filed court papers yesterday claiming the state arbitrator's report is "a raunchy piece of fiction" that is based on witnesses wild imaginations. Or as her lawyer put it, "A fish turned into a whale because of the nature of these allegations. Overblown, this is overblown!"
Let's go to the tapes! Oh wait, apparently those have been destroyed. Looks like a side of mystery and intrigue just got added to the already scandalous story.
