Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed Against American Apparel

A sexual harassment lawsuit was filed against American Apparel's CEO Dov Dov Charney. Charney has admitted that he frequently drops his pants to show people his new product. However the three women who have filed the claim against him are upset about much more than that. They claim Charney would frequently make offensive sexual comments and gestures in the work place. She also claims she was fired after she confronted him and complained about his offensive behavior.

In his depostion Charney claims he called women sluts at work and would often have just underwear on at work. Charney even posted a video of himself in underwear on the company website but has since taken it down. Charney also claims that he allows his employees to engage in sexual behavior at work as long as they do so in private. Former employees of American Apparel have made claims that Dov Charney was almost always talking about sex.

One reporter from Jane Magazine was interviewing Charney at his apartment when he pulled his pants down and masterbated in front of her. At another point during an interview he had one of his assistants perform oral sex on him.




Not only am I disgusted by the claims made against Dov Charney but I am disgusted with his advertisements.








I found a photo of porn actress Sasha Grey modeling clothing for Americal Apparel. I am not sure what she is modeling exactly as she is completely naked except for what I THINK are thigh high socks. I decided not to post the photo though.

American Apparel is supposedly a fair trade company. However, they charge a lot of money for their products. Not only that they feel quite comfortable in exploiting women to sell their products.
