Fired for falsified application — then sues for bias

A woman sued her company for sex discrimination after she was fired for lying on her employment application.
The reason for the termination: When asked about her employment history, Heather Kearney decided not to include a prior stint as a Hooters waitress.
Once the employer found out, Kearney was fired for submitting a false application.
Kearney claims she left it out because it was irrelevant to the criminal intelligence analyst job she was applying for. She’s now arguing that firing her because of the Hooters gig constitutes gender discrimination.
She also claims she was passed over for promotions that were given to less-qualified men.
What do you think about the case? Should the company have fired her for leaving out a previous job — even one that had nothing to do with the job being offered? Was it discrimination?
