American Apparel Gets a Restraining Order Against Dov Charney
LatestAmerican Apparel has served its perennially bitter ex, former CEO/founder Dov Charney, with a temporary restraining order.
The restraining order, which can be read in full here, prevents Charney from making negative statements about the company to the press; it also prevents him from “directly or indirectly seeking the removal of any member of the Company’s board of directors.”
A quick recap: After Charney sued Standard General—the hedge fund that, as of Charney’s 2014 ouster, more-or-less controls the company’s Board of Directors—for defamation early last month, American Apparel turned around and sued Charney, for violating the terms of an agreement he signed with the hedge fund last July.
