Brandy Melville employees have come forward to describe an "evil" cult teen brand — one where they say execs share texts containing racist, sexist, and antisemitic jokes, and discriminate against workers who aren't young, thin, pretty, and white. 

What workers are saying about Brandy Melville's culture.


Peloton's new apparel collection

Peloton is launching its own clothing brand, putting it in direct competition with Lululemon and Nike, brands it had previously partnered with. Called Peloton Apparel, the clothing line will offer a mix of men's, women's, and gender-neutral styles, costing between $15 and $118.

Get the rundown on Peloton Apparel.


An empty beach in Vietnam

Phu Quoc was once hailed as Vietnam's "last paradise," with white-sand beaches and flourishing forest ecosystems. But now, development has ramped up across the island, adding thousands of villas and hotel rooms, clubs, and a casino — and changing the island's identity. 

How Phu Quoc became an unrecognizable version of itself.

For years, Darcy Stacom has reigned over New York City's commercial-real-estate scene, raking in $60 billion in sales and earning the title of the "Queen of the Skyscrapers." But staffers say behind the accolades is a hot-headed exec who throws things, berates underlings, and makes employees' lives miserable.

In 2011, a French couple purchased a villa in Bali without ever having seen it in person — and quickly realized they had stumbled upon a true oasis. The couple spent two years turning the property into a private compound complete with five bedrooms, 10 pavilions, and a 60-foot swimming pool.

Take a look inside the sprawling villa.
