American Apparel Managers Told: Fire the Ugly People!
An American Apparel store manager sent Gawker an anonymous email claiming that controversial CEO Dov Charney was at it again.
The oft-sued Charney, this manager claimed, was demanding that underperforming AA stores send in photos of their sales staff to him so he could determine who wasn't good looking enough for the store. What would happen to these possibly hardworking folks who didn't enough resemble teenage Lolitas?

Director Woody Allen and American Apparel's two-year battle have finally come to an end. American Apparel has agreed to pay Allen $5 million to settle a lawsuit claiming the company used his image on billboards and the Internet without his consent. “Naturally there is some relief of not having to go through a trial, but I also harbor a sense of remorse and sadness for not arguing an important issue regarding the First Amendment, particularly the ability of an individual or corporation to invoke the likeness of a public figure in a satiric and social statement,” said CEO and founder of American Apparel, Dov Charney, who also mentioned that the decision to settle the case was made on behalf of the company's insurance carrier.

Why do I bet this infamous sexual harasser dude finds their portrayal flattering, though? (Hey Dov: a porn 'stache and yucky green manties are too much.)
Thanks, Jezebel!
Saturday Morning Cartoon: American Ap-perv-el
American Apparel is a glorified T-shirt shop that's made a name for itself by providing the highest quality advertising amateur porn around. While this is no secret, what goes on behind the scenes of AA's operation is anyone's guess. Where does Dov Charney, CEO and Raunchmaster Extraordinaire, find his hungover, semiconscious "models" anyway?

The founder of American Apparel, Dov Charney, is being accused of vile language and acts by a former employee.
In the civil sexual harassment case, which begins in Los Angeles tomorrow, ex-American Apparel employee Mary Nelson charges that Charney once had a meeting with her wearing only a strategically placed sock, invited her to perform lewd acts with him, and then fired her when he learned she planned to meet with a lawyer.

American Apparel's Next Top Model

Would You Put This Sculpture Outside Your Home?
American Apparel CEO Dov Charney's Los Angeles home is pretty unmistakable due to the giant sculpture that flips all of downtown LA off, greeting guests as they approach his front door. I wouldn't call it the most tasteful pièce de résistance, but for the head of a company whose ads are nearly pornographic, I'd say it's fitting. What do you think?
