00:00I was off work.

00:02It was probably 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock at night.

00:04My phone rang and it was Dove, the head of the whole company.

00:08He didn't say anything other than just, I hate you.

00:11And then he just hung up.

00:12That was like a regular day at American Apparel.

00:16Walking to American Ball felt different than walking

01:14The allegations that landed on my desk made me absolutely enraged.

01:20These claims happened over and over again.

01:24The heart wants what the heart wants.

01:26American Apparel was this iconic fireball.

01:30Figure it out.

01:31Things progressively got crazier and crazier.

01:34I'll probably be in therapy until the day that I die.
