Something Navy CEO Matthew Scanlan has had enough of the rumors.
On Dec. 7, the businessman denied speculation that founder Arielle Charnas‘ husband Brandon Charnas, 37, has been embezzling funds from the clothing company. (Embezzlement rumors surfaced on Reddit, when users began speculating that a publication was working on an exposé about Brandon and the company.)
“This is categorically false,” Matthew told E! News. “Brandon Charnas does not have access to company bank accounts. He is not an employee of the company, and he has no access points.”
Another rumor circulating the Internet is the status of Arielle, 35, and Brandon’s marriage. Despite speculation that the couple is headed for a divorce, a spokesperson for Something Navy told E! News that any breakup rumors are “patently false” adding “they are happily married and in love.”
A source added, “There was absolutely no embezzlement. This is all part of a disgusting, coordinated smear campaign attempting to damage Arielle and Brandon’s reputations and lives.”
Arielle—who shares daughters Ruby, 6, Esme, 4, and Navy, 18 months, with Brandon—first launched Something Navy as a blog in 2009. More than a decade later, the brand has developed into a clothing line, and has a valuation worth $100 million as of November 2021, according to Business Insider.
