Sexy clothing company damns aging comic director Woody Allen with lawsuit!
American Apparel, known for its tween jail bait adverts is fighting Woody Allen’s multi-million dollar lawsuit that alleges the clothier is ruining his image with billboards depicting Allen as a Hasidim lifted from his own film Bananas.
Allen, 73, started the fight when he saw the ads, claiming he didn’t authorize the licensing of his image.
AA’s counter claim is that it can’t ruin what Allen already ruined himself.
A lawyer for the firm says the legal fight will focus on the Woodman relationship to then wife actress Mia Farrow and her adopted daughter, Soon Yi, (whom he married shortly after his divorce from Mia) when the trial begins in New York May 18.
Lawyer for the clothier Stuart Slotnick claims that based on that scandal, Allen is overestimating the worth of his image.
