Dov Charney, noted creep and founder of American Apparel, was officially fired from American Apparel yesterday. He was suspended earlier this year and after an internal investigation, the results deemed it would not be appropriate to keep Charney with the company. The list of reasons is basically corporate speak for Charney's notorious douchebaggery, such as "violating company policy, sexual harassment, and misusing corporate assets." In the time between his suspension and this official firing, Charney was still working at the company as a consultant. But now, after seven long months, AA is officially rid of the Dov, though as the brand's largest shareholder (which is currently trading at less than $1.00), he's confident that he "will have a strong relationship with the company in the years ahead." He's like herpes, you just can't get rid of him. To replace Charney, the company actually hired a woman, Paula Schneider, who has past experience at BCBG Max Azria and will hopefully give 15-year-old modeling superstar Brendan Jordan a huge fucking raise and make him the subject of all future ad campaigns.
