Remember that little rumor about possible investors wanting to kick American Apparel CEO Dov Charney to the curb?

Welp, apparently that couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, AA's newest lifeline claims Dov was the number one reason why he invested into the struggling clothing company.

Michael Serruya, a private investor from Canada, said of his $15 million investment:

"I think American Apparel is a tremendously strong brand and Dov is a remarkable visionary and entrepreneur. I think he is one of the top trend-setters in America today. I think given the proper resources, American Apparel has the ability to really deliver results."

We hope you're right, Mikey.

American Apparel's Looking For A Buyer & They Don't Want Dov!

Filed Under: Business Blitz Dov Charney American Apparel

Way to knock a guy when he's down.

With bankruptcy looming, American Apparel is exploring all their options and one of those is selling the company.

Good news, right? Well, not for Dov Charney.

Sources close to the situation say if AA is sold, it's highly unlikely the buyer will allow the CEO to stick around.

We can't say we're too surprised. In fact, that might be good for the company since Charney seems to only attract negative publicity.

Meanwhile, Dov remains in denial about the whole situation.

He told Counselor magazine the 'bankruptcy' mention in their SEC filings was "something we did as an obligation to shareholders… To say that the company is unstable is not accurate".

Whatever makes you sleep easier at night, Dov.

If you thought American Apparel founder Dov Charney was shady, you ain't seen nothing yet.

BNet was able to get their hands on one of the contracts models are forced to sign when posing for Dov because that's the only way they'll get paid!

By signing the "Model Release and Arbitration Agreement", the victims models agree:

-They won't sue Charney in court
-Any arbitration will be done in secrecy
-They can't go public with any damaging information (i.e. blogs, media, etc.)
-A breach of contract will "cause American Apparel irreparable harm", and the company can seek a temporary or permanent restraining order to enforce it

Wow.

They sure do go to great lengths to keep these girls quiet, which makes us wonder: what does Dov have to hide???
