Real Housewife of New York, Cindy Barshop, has been slapped!

With a racial discrimination suit, that is.

The Completely Bare Spa chain owner, was served by a former employee who claims she was mistreated and fired becauseof her race.

According to the legal documents filed, Barshop and fellow empolyees berated Altovise Collier, 25, when she began working at the spa’s 5th Avenue location in March.

Collier, a fully licensed esthetician, applied for the position online and was interviewed over the phone.

They were very impressed with me — until they saw me…I was treated like trash and thrown in the gutter, damn near sleeping in the streets.

Collier claims that not only was she tormented by the staff, who joked that she was only hired to “inject some color” into the salon, but that a portion of her pay was withheld, forcing her to crash on friends’ couches due to her inability to pay rent.

A week after complaining directly to Barshop about the poor treatment, Collier was terminated.  Barshop claims it was due to the poor quality of her work.

Barshop’s spas are famous for ”vajazzling”  - a service that provids glitter and jewels to female genitalia.

Sorry Cindy – I don’t care if it is a legitimate business – that’s downright gross.  Case closed.
