Public Filings Had Sext-Laden Submissions.
In a case which can only be described as entertaining (among other things, apparently involving sext-laden messages), Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Terry A. Green has granted defendant Colleen Brown, American Apparel chair, $112,000 out of a requested $167,315 in attorney’s fees for successfully SLAPPing former founder Dov Charney’s $20 million defamation suit. He said, in doing so, that high fees can be expected in high-profile cases, although observing that he did not believe any one side would be happy with this given that defendant was awarded less than her request. His ruling came down on February 26, 2016.
Bonus: “sext”: “A cheesy ‘hip’ portmanteau invented by the media during the mid-2000s to describe a new form sexual expression that had come about due to increased pressure and stifling of sexual freedom imposed by the hypocritical older generation (which they did not face during their younger years).” Urban Dictionary.
