It's always the guy you most expect

This is the same guy who gave Epstein his mansion right?

It's almost like some people with a lot of money do shit people without money want to do but can't afford to.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Guy looks like he's ready to talk about buttered sausages.

Fuck me Ivan Drago really went to shit after Rocky 4

Dude in the picture is a chomo? No way…

This from the store that smelled like an axe bottle and had soft core porn mags inside?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Behold, my surprised face 😐

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Cool. Do Wexner next.

Does being rich turn people into rapists or do a disproportionate number of rapists get rich?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

People tend not to chase power and status out of a burning desire to do good by their fellow man.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

We just hear about high profile ones more than regular ones.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 2 days ago

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.

Is he likely to be held in custody? Maybe he'll join Diddy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Always knew he was a sex pervert

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Why did you let him get away with it for this long instead of reporting it?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Because law enforcement tend not to listen to random people making wild accusations online.

Is this the guy who said he didn't want ugly people wearing his ugly clothes? Even though he himself is ugly as sin

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He also fought against having his brand in thift stores because poor people shouldn't wear Abercrombie

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

Such ugly stupid clothes and it's all covered in gaudy Abercrombie logos, like you're their billboard

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He looks like he's auditioning to be a vampire in a cheesy 90s movie.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Never seen a vampire that looked like his teeth would shatter if he tried to eat an unripe avocado though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I thought that was the lululemon guy.

Maybe it was both.

It was probably both.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

He asks potential young victims if they want a "BABY RUTH!!"

[–] [email protected] 65 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

He looks like one of those puppets on that BBC show

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (2 children)

His lawsuit accused Jeffries, Smith, Jacobson and Abercrombie itself of luring attractive young men under the guise of making them an Abercrombie model and then forcing them to take drugs and perform sex acts.

Woah, that's… bad.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Right out of the Bill Cosby playbook.

Hard to say, he's been dead for 94 years, but... Maybe? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

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.
