AA’s boss is a dirty bastard

June 6th, 2008

Did you hear American Apparel’s founder and owner Dov Charney has been sued by his employee for sexual harassment, “an employee called Jeneleen Floyd who alleges that, in the course of a telling-off, he ordered her to pretend to masturbate in front of him. When she didn’t, he turned to her line manager and asked him to do it instead; then, in the very proper words of the lawsuit, filed last week, “as Mr Swenson complied with Defendant Charney’s instruction, Defendant Charney moved next to him and simulated an oral sex act with him”. Apparently it didn’t come as a surprise ’cause the guy has a long track record of lewd behavior at workplace. He even harasses the models during photo sessions. “He has been known to walk through his office in underwear, and conduct meetings in a thong (his defence - he designs underwear, so why not model it?); during the interview process for an article by Claudine Ko, for the now-defunct Jane magazine, he had oral sex with a female employee in front of Ko; he also masturbated several times.” WTF?
