Vertically Integrated Panty Twist: Roberto Hernandez Is Suing American Apparel’s Dov Charney

Dov Charney is of the often-pantless owner of American Apparel, a company that sells shiny leggins to anorexic fourteen year olds who will offer to suck you off for coke at parties but don’t quite know how to execute such an act with finesse. He is currently being sued by Roberto Hernandez, who formerly worked in American Apparel’s company’s information-technology department, for allegedly attempting to make him “cook the books,” so to speak:

Charney - who has gained notoriety for snapping the sexy Polaroid photos of young girls that populate American Apparel’s ads - was making the push partly because other investors had gotten cold feet “based on his own illegal sexual conduct,” Hernandez alleged.

The suit follows a longstanding sexual-harassment case against Charney, which recently took a bizarre turn when court documents showed Charney attempting to stage a phony arbitration hearing as part of a settlement in order to clear his name.

In the latest case, Hernandez says he was fired when he refused to cooperate with the alleged accounting scheme. American Apparel spokesman Ryan Holiday responded yesterday that Hernandez was fired “for performance reasons at the request of his direct supervisor.”

Carlos Hernandez’s former co-worker, and LOVER, Carolina Crespo, was interviewed about Hernandez and his lawsuit:

She alleges that Hernandez “had a severe attendance problem - he always used to show up late.” She said the chronic tardiness was related to personal problems, and that while his supervisor “gave him plenty of chances, he never came in on time.”

Whatever. We had a little trouble understanding what she said. It sounded kind of garble. As if spoken by a mouth full of balls. Like maaaybe Dov Charney’s? Hernandez’s suit also alleges that Charney was prone to inappropriate behavior in the workplace:

The CEO “paraded in the workplace in his underwear,” conducted business meetings “at his home completely naked,” and forced Hernandez to “engage in work discussions with him while he showered,” according to the suit.

Oh. Is not… is that not normal?
