American Apparel Requests Nude Pics of Woody's Wife

Woody Allen, Dov Charney and young women go together like legwarmers, metallic spandex tights and a deep v-neck tee, yet the battle between Woody Allen and American Apparel continues! After the company used the director's image (without permission) on one of their billboard campaigns, he filed a $10 million lawsuit saying it damaged his reputation. He called the company "sleazy" amongst other things, and the company retaliated noting that he already tarnished his image when he married his young stepdaughter, Soon-Yi Previn. WCBS now reports that "Lawyers for American Apparel have complained that Allen has refused to turn over much of the information they have demanded to prepare for trial. Among their demands were documents concerning any endorsement requests that were withdrawn after the sex scandal with Farrow and Previn became public." The request included nude photos Allen allegedly took of Soon-Yi Previn—but don't get your hopes up Charney, his lawyers say that request is not relevant to the case.

Woody Allen? Is he still ambulating in his potty chair?

I imagine that when a person reaches a certain age, no matter who they are or think they think they are, they will do anything to keep thier name alive. (WHO he?)

Agreed. Judging from the number of comments this post has attracted, Gothamist will find a way to include a Woody Allen/Dov Charney story every day of week.

well this wouldn't be that popular of a post if valeriob and felix would just get a room to work out the angst with their naughty bits.

felixthecat2

I will pray to God to forgive me for pawing my stalker. :(

valeriob

hahahaha... kids.

felixthecat2

you are calling me a kid, you are immature, you came here just for me i full force, think about it if you can. You are pathetic and have issues if you need to come here just for me. We never even met. How sad is that dude? it makes me feel a little sorry for you actually.

valeriob

Kind of makes you want to 'pawn' me, or worse yet, 'paw' me?

Guest

Don't encourage 'it' by responding to 'it'. That only makes 'it' worse.

The billboard doesn't look kinda farcical to anyone else? I thought it was pretty obvious. I get that it was an image from a film and I bet American Apparel does as well. Whatever you think about Woody too, the idea that he can call anyone "sleazy" with contempt is pretty funny too. He's not exactly squeaky clean.
