Much as I deplore coercive rich yuppie homo fops, I deplore the writing from the Daily Mail also.
Abercrombie and Fitch launches investigation into ex-CEO Mike Jeffries after accusations he groomed and exploited men at sex parties he hosted around the world
Daily Mail UK | 3 October 2023 | By Dan Sales and Paul FarrellAbercrombie and Fitch said that it has recruited an outside law firm to investigate allegations made against former CEO Mike Jeffries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Clothing brand Abercrombie and Fitch has said that it has recruited an ‘outside law firm’ in order to
[And here’s the verb tense that makes you pause in wonder]
investigated the shocking allegations of grooming and other sex crimes allegedly perpetrated by former CEO Mike Jeffries.
The allegations were made in a BBC documentary that aired in the UK on Monday night. The film accused Jeffries and his partner Matthew Smith
[the word “of” would come in handy here, Daily Mail]
holding sex events around the world in which young men were forced into intimate acts.
[Were they over 18?]
A total of twelve men
[Men, huh? Sounds like they were over 18]
came forward for the documentary, half of them said that they were lied to about the nature of the parties they were asked to attend. While others said that they feared for their future careers if they did not participate in the acts.
[Choices… choices… choices…]
Jeffries ruled over Abercrombie and Fitch from the 1990s until 2014, transforming it from a struggling clothing brand to one of the trendiest in the United States.
[Now, this next sentence: it slipped by two authors and, presumably, one editor.]
During his career, Jeffries was accused discrimination, opulence and allowing his partner, Smith, to have influence over the company.
In the wake of the documentary, an official statement from the company said that it was ‘appalled and disgusted’ by the allegations and that the current management has ‘zero tolerance for abuse, harassment or discrimination of any kind.’
[Starting . . . NOW!]
I thought grooming was now perfectly acceptable in America.
For what it’s worth, it gets weirder. From another source:
“…The eight men who attended the events said they were recruited by a middleman, who they described as having a missing nose covered with a snakeskin patch.”
Many questions here , starting with: where do you even find a snakeskin nose patch? Abercrombie & Fitch?
WTA&F?
Opulence? Is that a crime?
(Otherwise—crab bait a la “John Clark?”)
