Oh man, the dude that used photos of practically naked teenagers to decorate his stores is a creepy fuck? I never would have guessed.
Not just that, he used that very business as bait.
Yeah, Netflix released a documentary a few years ago called "White Hot: The Rise & Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch" that partially addressed what a fucking sleazy guy Mike Jeffries is. While it didn't get into any claims related to this news, it definitely made it clear that he's an asshole and solely responsible for Abercrombie's pivot from being an outdoors oriented clothing brand to selling wildly unrealistic body standards to teenagers at malls in the 2000s. It's been awhile, but from what I recall, nobody interviewed in the documentary had anything nice to say about him.
And the irony is, Mike Jeffries looks like Gary Busey having a bad hair day, but he would've taken one look at me when I was 15 and been like "I don't want him wearing our clothes, he's too short and he's got acne. Gross." That's the kind of prick he is. He despises anyone that doesn't meet his standard of beauty and genuinely did not want "ugly" people wearing A&F.
So I can't say I'm all that surprised to learn he was doing much more horrific shit behind the scenes, too. And now with this news breaking, I'm just starting the count-down until he gets his own multi-part episode of Behind The Bastards.
Oh I remember back in the day how A&F got away with only hiring "pretty" people to staff their stores by referring to them as "models."
Mike Jeffries is also a model. A model asshole.
this guy is Diddy's inspiration
Is this the guy who said he didn't want ugly people wearing his ugly clothes? Even though he himself is ugly as sin
Yep, that's him. The dude hates ugly people but apparently doesn't own a mirror. I make a point of not attacking people for their looks, because it can't be helped, and I'm not exactly Ryan Gosling over here lol... But when you make it the core of your business, then it's fair game. It's almost impressive that Mike Jeffries has managed to be uglier on the inside than he is on the outside.
Did some reading on wikipedia and man this is so surreal. The whole brand sexualizes women and targets specifically kids. Even in that quote, he refers to the good-looking kids specifically.
He looks like he's auditioning to be a vampire in a cheesy 90s movie.
Never seen a vampire that looked like his teeth would shatter if he tried to eat an unripe avocado though
He asks potential young victims if they want a "BABY RUTH!!"
He also fought against having his brand in thift stores because poor people shouldn't wear Abercrombie
Such ugly stupid clothes and it's all covered in gaudy Abercrombie logos, like you're their billboard
I thought that was the lululemon guy.
Maybe it was both.
It was probably both.
Does being rich turn people into rapists or do a disproportionate number of rapists get rich?
There's actually been research showing that CEO and other senior executive roles tend to attract a disproportionate amount of people with psychopathic tendencies when compared to the general population.
Here's an article about it.
Being rich enables rapists. There are plenty of average rapists, but they don't have whole networks grooming victims. And they don't make more than the local news when they get caught.
Narcissists have a high self focus, fuck the rest. Makes them perfect to climb up to CEO levels. Kind of the same thing in how so many priests are child molesters
One of the things I have observed is that wealthy people lack empathy for others. Its one of the reasons they make money so easily. When you don't care about anyone but yourself its easy to screw someone over. The same lack of decency would make raping someone easy.
We just hear about high profile ones more than regular ones.
People tend not to chase power and status out of a burning desire to do good by their fellow man.
Looks like an albino Harvey Weinstein.
He also looks like Gary Busey.
He looks more like Gary Busey than Gary Busey does.
More like Gary Abuse-y! ba dum tish
Alvey Beinstein
quelle surprise
I hope all these sleazy motherfuckers are sweating hard right now. It's been decades of allegations, civil lawsuits, etc all around the rich and famous. Now the chickens are coming home to roost in the form of FBI raids. Lock them up.
Woah, that's… bad.
Right out of the Bill Cosby playbook.
Guy looks like he's ready to talk about buttered sausages.
Dude in the picture is a chomo? No way…
Was Fitch also involved?
Hard to say, he's been dead for 94 years, but... Maybe? 🤔
Sort of reminds me way back when the company still existed that when we went to Sears, my dad would ask what happened to Roebuck. I think Sears killed Roebuck and just covered the whole thing up by gaslighting everyone into thinking there never was a Roebuck.
Fuck me Ivan Drago really went to shit after Rocky 4
He looks like one of those puppets on that BBC show
It's always the guy you most expect
Always knew he was a sex pervert
Why did you let him get away with it for this long instead of reporting it?
Because law enforcement tend not to listen to random people making wild accusations online.
This is the same guy who gave Epstein his mansion right?
Cool. Do Wexner next.
Is he likely to be held in custody? Maybe he'll join Diddy
Put them all in one cell. R. Kelly, Diddy, Weinstein and this Abercrombie guy here. They should get along well, since they dedicated their lives to use their talent to get what they really wanted.
Isn't fame and money enough? How many of us humans have thIs urge to control and abuse others, only holding back, because they fear the consequences?
I know that i don't.
What do you think drives them to attain fame and power in the first place? Those are simply tools for these sickos to live out their true fantasies.
It's almost like some people with a lot of money do shit people without money want to do but can't afford to.
Um
