One of the NFL’s first female referees said she considered cutting off her hair after league officials allegedly instructed her to style it in a way that would clearly mark her as a woman on the field, according to a new harassment lawsuit.
Robin DeLorenzo, a trailblazing full-time on-field official, filed the complaint Friday in Manhattan federal court, accusing the league of subjecting her to a three-year pattern of “gender-based scrutiny, humiliation and hostility” from 2022 until her dismissal in February 2025.
