American Apparel, Woody Allen Settle Billboard Lawsuit for $5 Million

American Apparel is known for many things: affordable, domestically-produced cotton basics, admirable labor practices, Terry Richardson-esque advertisements, a controversy-courting CEO with the memorable moniker of Dov Charney, and getting slapped with lawsuits, lots and lots of lawsuits. The latest legal battle for the company, which went public in 2006 through an acquisition deal valued at $260 million, stemmed from two American Apparel billboards that depicted actor and director Woody Allen as a Hasidic Jew—with the help of a doctored frame from Annie Hall.
