“White Hot: The Rise and Fall of Abercrombie & Fitch” will debut on Netflix April 19, the streamer has announced.
Directed by Alison Klayman, who helmed the Alanis Morissette documentary “Jagged” last year, “White Hot” explores the rise in popularity of casual wear retail chain Abercrombie & Fitch, which was first founded in the 1800s, during the late ’90s. Under the leadership of CEO Mike Jeffries, the store became known for its sexualized advertising and its emphasis on an “all-American” look –– which, to many, was code for “white.” As the store developed a dominance in the retail world off of its brand, growing criticisms regarding discriminatory hiring and marketing practices eventually engulfed it in scandal.
“Abercrombie & Fitch said, ‘We go after the cool kids’,” One talking head in the documentary narrates. “If they didn’t look a certain way, they didn’t belong on our clothing. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

Earlier this week, TMZ obtained video surveillance footage of Younes getting into a nasty physical fight with a restaurant employee while he was out partying with Drake, Odell Beckham Jr. back in March.

"Those [notices] went out … and that was before we ever saw the video because we couldn’t get the video until a formal lawsuit was filed, so the timing was rather ironic." According to TMZ, it all went down on Mar. 24 at...
