Donna Karan giving a lesson in how to destroy your brand

That she said that makes me ill! #DKNoWay. Her sales need to be hit hard.

A conglomerate owns that brand

The conglomerate should sue her for devaluing the name, then. Donna Karan is now code for sexual harassment enabler.

Absolutely! Tell her new biz @urban_zen how you feel about victim blaming. #DKNoWay

I buy nothing from people who say any woman asks to be molested. @Urban_Zen

Donna Karen has ZERO affiliation with the @dkny brand, anymore. She stepped down and departed in 2015. She doesn't speak for them.

Donna Karen is crazy and her departure from @dkny wasn't pleasant. She's the last person they'd want speaking for them at this point.

Her name is still on the door. The blowback from this is going to be catastrophic.

I'd boycott, but there aren't any TJMaxx stores in my area.

Are all rich people this fucked up? Asking for a friend...

Let’s make a deal: make me rich, I’ll report back to you what I find

Donna Karan and DKNY are unrelated.

LVMH sold the Donna Karan and DKNY brands to G-III in 2016. They have nothing to do with Donna Karan the person.

Yes but the bought the brand, her name. What she does & says impacts the brand. They could sue her for negatively impacting sales.

I don't think they could, actually. But I haven't practiced law in a couple of years.

There could be something in the purchase contract.

That impinges on her free speech as a private citizen unconnected to the brand? I can't imagine her lawyers would agree to that.

This goes beyond just buying a company, they bought the use of her name. Her image. Morals clauses are in contracts all the time...
