A Beyoncé-inspired singer caught dancing in high heels for a music video while on sick leave for her bunions was fairly sacked, a court has ruled.

Virya Cruz, a production assistant, was fired in June 2023, a week after she appeared online performing taxing choreography with two male dancers as part of her fledgling pop career.

Ms Cruz, who had been off work for 10 months after undergoing surgery on bunions in Aug 2022, challenged her dismissal as unfair.

However, the Canary Islands’ superior court ruled that an audiovisual company in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria was within its right to fire Ms Cruz.
