INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) - A former Indianapolis Colts cheerleader is suing the football club for discrimination after she claims to have been let go over some suggestive photographs.

Malori Wampler was a cheerleader for the 2010-2011 season but claims her season was cut short in November 2010 when club managers received pictures of her in a painted on swimsuit.

According to the lawsuit, Wampler was let go even though she did not violate the club’s conduct policy because the photos were taken before she was hired by the Colts.

The lawsuit says the club discriminated against Wampler because she was a female saying numerous male players have broken the club’s conduct rules and have not been dismissed.

Wampler, formerly affiliated with Playboy, claims the club told her that her affiliation with the entertainment organization would not be a problem when she was hired.
