Someone Just Got Paid $500,000 For A Dov Charney Tell All
The literary community is clutching its pearls after news broke this week that an untested, first-time author was given a half-million dollar advance. It then proceeded to tear its pearls off its neck and stamp the floor in riotous anticipation when it was revealed this author is writing a book about Dov Charney.
New American Apparel T-Shirt Posits That ‘Teenagers Do It Better’
You’d think a guy whose teenage employees have accused him of turning them into sex slaves would want to do everything in his power to not look like a child molester. And yet, American Apparel CEO and skeezeball-in-chief Dov Charney is currently selling a t-shirt that proclaims “Teenagers Do It Better” in big block letters.
American Apparel Settles Racial Discrimination Lawsuit For $343K
Is American Apparel ever not being sued? In this week’s edition of who the clothing company has pissed off, we have Christopher Renfro, an African American man and former American Apparel employee who began working with the company in 2006 and ultimately sued in 2008 for racial discrimination. Renfro alleged that his supervisor, Sean Alonzo, repeatedly referred to him with the racial slur “nigger.” And we thought Dov Charney saying that he loves “sluts” was bad enough.
Dov Charney A No-Show At American Apparel Shareholder Meeting
American Apparel may be (temporarily) in the clear after a group of Canadian investors bought $15.2 million worth of company shares last month, but it’s still deep in debt and recovering from losing a whopping $86.3 million in 2010 alone.
Given that the future of his company is bleak at best, it seems counterintuitive that Dov Charney, the company’s chairman, CEO, and principal shareholder, was noticeably absent from American Apparel’s shareholder meeting on Tuesday.
PHOTOS: American Apparel’s New Boob-Filled Jeans Ads (NSFW)
You know what’s not a secret? American Apparel is in serious financial trouble. You know what else is not a secret? Sex sells! Or at least it’s supposed to. Which is why for the past decade or so American Apparel has resorted to hiring nude models in its advertising. The latest ads, for the company’s new line of women’s jeans, are just as porny as the rest of them, but they leave us questioning whether or not the strategy is actually going to work.
Dov Charney Has A Browser Bookmark For ‘Good Hookers’
Today Dov Charney hosted a webinar for American Apparel store managers, via his personal computer. One of the managers who “attended” this virtual meeting was industrious enough to take a screenshot of Charney’s desktop, and in turn send it to Gawker. Charney’s digital life is just as creepy as his actual life, but hey — he has a Mac!

Canadian Yogurt King Saves American Apparel

Dov Charney Hopes To One Day Live Like Hugh Hefner
We’re starting to wonder if embattled American Apparel CEO Dov Charney doesn’t just do and say certain things just to get a rise out of us. (And upon reflection, we’re pretty sure that’s exactly what he does, so… Anyway!) Charney is the subject of a New York Times profile today in which he mocks American Apparel’s board of directors, decries the “repressive” state of American culture, and reveals his desire to recreate the Playboy mansion in his 20-room concrete home in Los Angeles’ hipster-friendly neighborhood of Silver Lake.

In Which High School Dov Charney Is Just Like Adult Dov Charney

WATCH: American Apparel Gets The Taiwanese CGI Treatment
Somewhere, an American Apparel investor is praying Dov Charney‘s remarkable ability to garner headlines will somehow translate to in store sales. But in the meantime, Taiwanese animation aficionados NMA have included the ailing brand in their latest offering: “America’s Fastest Dying Industries.” This may sound crunchy and probably depressing, but just wait until CGI Dov appears. The payoff is sweeter than we could ever imagine.
WATCH: CNN Asks Dov Charney How It Feels To Be Called A ‘Pervert’
American Apparel just announced their new jean line yesterday, but CEO Dov Charney found himself on the news this morning for a slightly less sellable reason. Instead of talking denim, CNN grilled him on the sexual harassment lawsuits recently filed against him, in which no less than five women are suing him for damages totaling $250 million.
Will A New Denim Line Save American Apparel?
In March, before word got out about just how bad American Apparel‘s financial situation is, the company’s CEO Dov Charney announced that he’d unveil a denim line this month. On Monday, he sent out a press release detailing exactly what those jeans will look like. But with the company in so far over its head, we’re wondering whether or not a few pairs of jeans will be enough to save the company.
Is This The Beginning Of The End For American Apparel?
American Apparel‘s financial situation might be worse than we thought it was last week, when the brand wrote in its first quarter report that it lost $86.3 million dollars in 2010.

Guess How Much Money American Apparel Lost In 2010?
How many sentences have we written lately that begin with the words “As if Dov Charney didn’t have enough to worry about already …”? Well, as if Dov Charney didn’t have enough to worry about already, it was reported this morning that the clothing company he founded, American Apparel, ended 2010 on a really bad financial note. How bad? Let’s just say in a year, it lost more money than we’ll ever actually see in our lifetimes.
