American Apparel pursues restraining order against Dov Charney
New York – The never ending saga that has become the American Apparel and Dov Charney
controversy continues. This time, the Los Angeles-based retail company has
decided to pursue legal action against Dov Charney with a restraining
order. The company’s motion, filed last Thursday in the Delaware Court of
Chauncery, is based on allegations that Charney breached the standstill
agreement he had with them. The motion is part of a larger lawsuit the
company filed against their former CEO last week.

The proposed restraining order would ban Charney from directly or
indirectly removing any members of the board, as well as making
“disparaging comments about the company to the press or any third
party.” American
Apparel said in its motion that Charney has “launched a scorched-earth
campaign against the company.” After being fired from the company last
year, having initially been suspended first, Charney has made it abundantly
clear time and time again that he intends to regain control of his company.
Some of his attempts to bring attention to his desire to become CEO again
have included rallies and lawsuits. Of course, these are just some of his
more attention getting attempts. In several behind-closed-doors style moves
he has used a friend and former employee, a college roommate, and a woman
whom he has a relationship with as surrogate plaintiffs to attempt to get
members of the board removed. Charney and his lawyer Keith Fink have
declined to comment on these issues. A hearing for the restraining order
will take place this week on May 29th.
