Are You Hot Enough To Work For American Apparel?

Filed Under: Dov Charney American Apparel

According to Gawker, skeazebag/American Apparel CEO Dov Charney is up to his piggy antics again: this time, he's laying off employees who he deems damaging to the "AA aesthetic." In other words, ugly people. American Apparel's "aesthetic," is essentially retro-amateur porn, but with shiny spandex in place of boobs and bush.

According to an American Apparel employee, each week the company holds worldwide conference calls for store managers to discuss sales, displays, etc. Recently, however, the calls took a less professional turn when Charney "went on a huge tirade and made stores that weren't doing so well send in group photos," so that he could judge who needed to be fired and who was sexy enough to stay on. The employee goes on to say that his comments about the employee's appearances were "childish," and "insulting." There is fear among the managers that if they don't adhere to his rules, they, too, will be fired.

Yikes!

This is gross, but not surprising. Charney's no stranger to controversy, and with his pervy ways, he kind of invites it. The American Apparel frontman has been the subject of multiple sexual harrassment lawsuits and allegations from both employees and acquaintances, and openly acknowledges that he encourages employees to be sexy, will freely sleep with employees, and he even loves sluts!

Klassy!
