Prom Dress Incident

On Friday, May 20, 2011, Diane Scali, owner of the dress shop Diane & Co., which is featured on the show made international headlines when she refused to issue a refund on a dress from a 16 year old girl whose boyfriend and prom date died in a car accident just 2 weeks before her prom. Scali was quoted in the media as saying "It's not my fault her boyfriend died.","The family was calling for a refund before the kid was in the morgue", among others. Friends of the teen launched facebook page to boycott Diane & Co. and within 5 days had 15,000 fans worldwide supporting the teenager. Scali made headlines in newspapers and television from New York to Los Angeles and United Kingdom. On Monday, May 23rd, Diane & Co. was the butt of talk show radio angst as local and national radio programs discussed her choice to wage war on the young girl. In the end, after nearly a weeklong battle which included the cast of the show, their publicist and lawyers, Diane & Co. refunded the $1,500 dress to the girls' father, but maintained they were simply the victim of internet cyberbullying.
