Story below from ethicalstyle.com Legendary director Woody Allen has sued ethical-fashion powerhouse American Apparel for using a photo of him without permission during a recent ad campaign in New York and Los Angeles.
However, we can’t say that American Apparel is behaving too ethically in its response. From the New York Post:
In a deposition for his $10 million suit against American Apparel, filmmaker Woody Allen called the hipster clothing company’s products “low-end” and their ads “sleazy,” “adolescent” and “infantile.”
But the clothier, which plastered an unauthorized shot of Allen on billboards in New York and LA, fired back yesterday by demanding records showing whether his “highly publicized sex scandal and custody battle” involving ex-girlfriend Mia Farrow and her adopted daughter Soon-Yi — Woody’s wife — had affected his earnings.
Below the belt. Here’s hoping they can resolve this like adults.
