The investigation involved whether the men sexually exploited and abused young men at parties they hosted in the U.S. and around the world, the sources said.

I’ve always hated that fucking brand, especially when douchebros with multiple popped collars (yes, they used to do that) that faked a lisp in the early 2000s to try to get heterosexually laid wore that overpriced fake vintage shit like a uniform.

I’m both not surprised and a bit vindicated because that former CEO had takes about “no ugly people in his stores” and other cryptofascist shit for decades.

    knight-nod It was a standing policy (no idea how enforced) that he didn’t want “ugly” people working or shopping at his grooming pavilions.

      A few years ago, they lost a lawsuit about how stores would make non-white employees work in the back while white employees got to work on the floor getting commissions. IIRC there were internal documents about blonde haired, blue eyed people having “that All-American look” and people not fitting that description should be scheduled to do other tasks (like working in back sorting boxes).
