American Apparel CEO Dov Charney has a reputation for being a sex hound, once he famously masturbated in front of a female reporter. "Dirty Dov" has been the subject of multiple sexual harassment lawsuits but none bigger than today's revelation.
What's the story?
A former American Apparel employee has filed a lawsuit alleging that Dov sexually harassed her at work whilst she was still 17. Then, she says, he forced her to come to his apartment to have sex with him on her 18th birthday. According to her lawsuit, Dov answered the door in his underwear and "forced her to her knees so she could pleasure him.""Then he dragged her to the bedroom, threw her on the bed, got on top of her and forced her to perform another act of fellatio, nearly suffocating her in the process," the suit alleges.She was then essentially "held prisoner" in the apartment for several hours during which time he forced her to perform additional sexual acts, according to the lawsuit filed in Brooklyn Supreme Court.The New York Post reports that the woman alleges that Dov "continued to demand sexual service and communications in exchange for her continued employment at American Apparel."Now she's suing him, as well as the company, for a quarter of a billion dollars (although the entire company is currently worth less than $80 million) saying that his actions caused her to suffer an "emotional breakdown."American Apparel has released the following statement: "We have been informed today that Irene Morales, a former employee of American Apparel who left the company without complaint and resigned with a letter of gratitude regarding her positive experience at the company, has filed a sexual harassment lawsuit in New York against the company. Upon her resignation, Ms. Morales acknowledged in writing that she had no pending claims against the company and signed a severance agreement which included a full release of claims and an agreement to submit any future claims to confidential binding arbitration. All American Apparel's employees are subject to the same confidential arbitration agreement signed by Ms. Morales in order to protect the privacy interests of employees and former employees, and to prevent predatory plaintiffs and their attorneys from attempting to use the media to extort the company. Such an arbitration process was initiated by the company against Ms. Morales several weeks ago. The company intends to file a formal complaint with the NY state bar seeking disciplinary action against Ms. Morales' lawyers who we believe are engaged in an illegal conspiracy to extort money from American Apparel. We are very confident that Ms. Morales' claims will be promptly referred by the court to confidential binding arbitration where her claims and the company's counter-claims will be resolved, we believe fully in favor of the company."Source: http://uk.gawker.com/5779834/dov-charney-sued-for-quarter-billion-dollars-for-allegedly-forcing-sex-on-teen-employeeAmerican Apparel CEO Dov Charney has a reputation for being a sex hound, once he... more

Dov Charney is most likely one of the WORST businessmen in the world. In my opinion, he has little/no morals and even less class. "American Apparel" must be a huge misnomer as neither his clothing nor his behavior reflect American (or even any) social standards.

"American Apparel operates nearly 200 stores around the world, and Montreal-born founder and CEO Dov Charney is enjoying his company's success. "It's sickening money, man," he told YoungEntrepreneur.com (he's 39). "We're minting money."
On a May 13th conference call, Charney said first-quarter sales were at $111.6 million, up 52% from the previous year. Interesting, considering that American Apparel manufactures their goods exclusively in the United States - unlike most U.S. companies.
But Charney was happy to discuss American Apparel's business forecast for the coming year during a face-to-face interview with Claudine Ko from the now-defunct Jane magazine - but only while masturbating. The writer also reported that Charney demanded, and received, oral sex from an employee while she looked on.
Not altogether surprisingly, Charney is now facing his fifth lawsuit in three years: Jeneleen Floyd, who worked in the product-placement department at the firm's Los Angeles headquarters, alleges that Charney stormed into her office and demanded that she pretend to masturbate for him. When she refused, a (male) colleague happily complied; not to be outdone, Charney joined him."

"While their "no sweatshop" line and their dedication to the social benefits of manufacturing in one of the most expensive states in the Union is a nice marketing piece, it is also very expensive. Expect it to get more so if immigration officials continue to sniff around.
"In one ad, a woman spreads her legs for the camera in company stockings and underwear on a white bed -- Mr. Charney's bed. Mr. Charney found himself at the center of four lawsuits from former employees, all alleging sexual harassment. One was dismissed and two others were settled out of court."
"Then of course there is the fact that Charney holds a majority of common. Ousting him outright is unlikely to be particularly effective (he looks like a scorched earth kind of CEO to me). But the company doesn't need him removed, just the addition of some adult supervision and a better balance sheet. Not enough to stifle it, but to keep matters at least mostly in hand. After all, breaking covenants is very, very naughty- and its not the kind of rebellion that sells hot pants."
