[NEW YORK] DOV Charney is completely naked. He is dancing in what looks like an office or studio, talking on his mobile phone while he jams to This Must Be the Place by the Talking Heads. Two women are there with him, possibly employees.

"I'm dancing right now for Daisy," Mr Charney, still the chief executive of American Apparel at the time, announces, glancing at one of the women. The other woman records the entire scene on a mobile phone, and asks him to "shake your booty". Before the video cuts out, Mr Charney looks at the camera and says: "Stop it. You're going to get me in trouble."

Well, it is a little late for that now.
