Mike Jeffries, former CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch, has been declared mentally incompetent by a judge and will be hospitalized to determine whether his condition can improve. The court ruling means Jeffries is currently not fit to stand trial or participate in legal proceedings.
Jeffries, who led the clothing retailer through a period of both significant growth and controversy, is now under hospital care where medical professionals will monitor his condition over time. The judge’s ruling focused on his current mental state and the need to assess his cognitive capacity before any further legal matters can proceed.
Details regarding the nature of the legal proceedings or health concerns remain limited due to privacy considerations. The judge’s decision underscores the importance of mental competency in judicial processes and ensures Jeffries receives appropriate medical attention.
Further updates may be provided following the hospital evaluation.
