American Apparel Inc.’s fired Chief Executive Officer Dov Charney spent Wednesday morning listening to his replacement describe the mess she said she found after taking the reins at the struggling clothing retailer.
Charney is in Delaware bankruptcy court this week seeking to persuade a judge to throw out American Apparel’s proposed reorganization plan in favor of one that lets him return to the company he created.
