If You Work At An Office, Can You Get Fired For Acting At A Show On Tv?


One of my outside school and work curriculum that i enjoy doing, is casting for television, like soapoperas, shows, being an extra. Basically acting on national tv. You also get paid for doing it. I also want to mention that I’m a very conservative person, I respect my body and image and I wouldn’t expose it on national tv. In other words I wouldn’t wear vulgar wardrobe nor speak vulgarity.
I happen to work at an office from monday to friday, where business is done over a phone due to the fact that we work with companies in other countries. (I want to make an emphasis that the clients don’t know how i look personally. The way of them identifying me is only by my name, which is never used on tv, they always give you a different to take as you act). I recently was threatened by my boss of losing my job due to them seeing me on TV, acting on a talk show. On this talk show I went dressed very conservative jeans and classy loose shirt, I was given a script to dramatize a girl who’s being persuaded by her friends to start working as a dancer at a night club (not a strip club) to earn some money to help pay for her studies and needs. The producer told me to make emphasis that the dancers are given a wardrobe and they do not strip off their wardrobe. Due to this talk show, my boss told me that i was to lose my job because it affected the company in negative ways, she began saying that the people that saw me on the show were going to affiliate me with the company and that it was going to cause a negative reflection. (like I said before, the clients we work with, have never seen me in person, they only know me by my name, and I didn’t use my name on the show. So either way no one work-related would be able to pin point me). Is there something in the state of Florida law that can protect me from losing my job for something like this? Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks for your help.
