Former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, Mike Jeffries, Has Been Accused Of Engaging In Sexual Exploitation Of Young Men

Charges have been made against Mike Jeffries, the previous CEO of the regarded retail organization Abercrombie and Fitch, concerning his contribution to the sexual double-dealing of underage guys. The aforementioned entrepreneur is currently under scrutiny as News has initiated an investigation, asserting that Jeffries and his British associate, Matthew Smith, were involved in a meticulously orchestrated network that employed intermediaries to procure young men for illicit sexual gatherings. 

Jeffries served as the Chief Executive Officer during the height of Abercrombie & Fitch's prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, after its acquisition by Les Wexner in 1988. In an article released on Monday, eight individuals disclosed their attendance at the purported sexual gatherings, with some of them additionally reporting instances of exploitation or mistreatment.

#アバクロンビーアンドフィッチ 福岡店 買い物のためじゃなく、二十世紀末に一世を風靡するも1992年に就任したCEO #マイクジェフリーズ ( #mikejeffries )が極端な #レイシスト #白人至上主義 (然もルックスが頗る宜しくないものをケチョンケチョンに貶めた言動も数多)その癖 #アバクロの #プライベートジェット を個人旅行等でも頻繁に使用、#アバクロンビーフィッチ プラベ年間使用コストの内ジェフリーズ使用分だけで110万㌦‼︎に達した年度もあった程。そんなアバクロはまず本国から消費者にソッポを向かれ凋落、2014年末やっとジェフリーズをCEO解任に追いやるもいまだ社業はガタガタ、セカンドライン廃止、店舗大幅統廃合に日本からもいずれ撤退するらしい。 それでチョロっと福岡店店頭を覗いたんだが写真の通り #コロナ禍 乗り越えようのエモいメッセージが #covid19 感染防止の取り組み・入店時の心得とともに書かれているがこの文言もし今もジェフリーズが続投してたらまずないよな、と言うものだった。 私はデブ💦(ジェフリーズはUSサイズ10以上は魅力的ではないとして所謂デブ用サイズはつくらなかった)な上持ち合わせも…だからアバクロは買えない。だがこの掲示のメッセージは買いならぬ👍🏻だと感じた。 頑張れ、アバクロ福岡関係者各位。 (Abercrombie & Fitch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpNF-BJg8F/?igshid=1aazkpyg3chhv

After 22 years at the helm, A&F CEO Mike Jeffries is stepping down

Abercrombie & Fitch (NYSE: ANF) CEO, Mike Jeffries, announced today (12/9/14) that he will be stepping down from from the helm of the New Albany, Ohio based company, effective immediately.

Jeffries took control of the brand in 1992 and brought it from sleepy preppy clothier to international powerhouse with four subsidiaries (Abercrombie Kids (1998-) Hollister Co. (2000-) Ruehl No.925 (2004-2010) and Gilly Hicks (2008-2010)) bringing in almost 4.2billion in revenue in 2013.

The company was steadily growing in the early 2000's with teens loving the status that the neo-preppy brand provided, but in 2006, during an interview between Jeffries and Salon.com, the empire began to crumble:

"That's why we hire good-looking people in our stores. Because good-looking people attract other good-looking people, and we want to market to cool, good-looking people. We don't market to anyone other than that." ... "In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely." - Jeffries

Seven years later, this quote was resurfaced by Kirstie Alley and others -  Jeffries claimed that the quote was taken out of context. This incident, combined with past allegations of discrimination, harassment, and bad product choices, left the board of the 80,000 employee company no choice but to strip Jeffries of his duties as board chairman in an effort to protect the shareholders, essentially leaving him as a CEO figurehead with little power.

Moving Forward:

The company is in the midst of a desperate turnaround effort as sales continue to fall coming out of the Great Recession. The brand announced earlier this year that that they will be eliminating its signature logo tees, redesigning stores as have pledged to close underperforming locations.

Whoever is pegged to replace Jeffries has a lot of work ahead of themselves, while I don't believe the company will get back to its early 2000's heyday, the company has an opportunity here to really start with a clean slate and reinvent the brand to better fit today's more frugal consumer. This is definitely a story that I will be keeping a close eye on.

Pot calling the Kettle Black

Someone please take the time to explain to me something. Why does this world swirl around such nimrods like the owner of Abercrombie and Fitch?

Mike Jeffries, Welcome to your 30 seconds of disaster in my mind.

I've spent 99.9% of my life over-weight. From the minute the doctor did the apgar score on my newly birthed body I was seen as the "fat" kid. I exercised, played sports, did massive outside activities growing up. To no obvious change, I'm getting to the point were I just think God made some people larger for various reasons. Regardless, Everyone is valuable and beautiful in their own way. - yes -  Even people like Mike Jeffries, yet I pity you and the way your name rolls of my tongue leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

I've always seen these so called "cool" kids that wear his clothes.

Thoughts... "Thank God you're not naked".

Here's the kicker. I don't see where Jeffries has the knowledge to decide who the "cool kids" are. From what I'm seeing dear, you're not so far off from 50% of today's society. Pretty sure that puts you on the -uncool fat kid list- that you so proudly announced in your interview.

Even tho you may not be on the "cool" kids list, I'm sure you design your own clothes. What fashionista wouldn't?

Hypocrite.

Now that the world see's how real this kind of "fat" kid hatred is, Maybe the outlook on obesity will change. Instead of the (They're all lazy and disgusting.) view, maybe people will take some stuff to heart and get to know others. Learn why someone is overweight, hell... encourage them if they're trying to change, and IF they're not... help them to understand why it's so important.

I, for one, continue my life changing habits. I do it for myself. Not for idiots like Jeffries. As far as I'm concerned, thank you for your input. I now know which stores I'll be shopping in when I'm my thinner weight.

May God have mercy on your Sad Soul.

Welcome to The Island.
