Something Navy Founder Arielle Charnas Reacts to Brandon Divorce Speculation, Denies Husband Embezzled From Company
Despite Arielle Charnas stepping out without her wedding ring, the fashion influencer has denied speculation that she has split from husband Brandon Charnas after he was accused of embezzling funds from her lifestyle brand.
“This is patently false. They are happily married and in love,” a rep for the 35-year-old Something Navy entrepreneur told Page Six in a Wednesday, December 7, statement.
While neither Arielle nor Brandon, 37, have further addressed the speculation about their marriage, the social media influencer first sparked breakup speculation after she ditched her wedding band in several recent Instagram photos. However, the Current Real Estate cofounder — who married the blogger in 2014 — has left a series of flirty comments on her posts, alluding to mixed messages about where the pair stands. After Arielle shared a Wednesday upload of her daily outfit, Brandon replied, “đź“· đź‘Ś.” One day earlier, the realtor left a fire emoji on his wife’s fashion snap.
Amid speculation about Arielle and Brandon’s marriage status, the University of Pennsylvania grad also came under fire for his involvement in her brand.
“This is categorically false,” Something Navy CEO Matthew Scanlan told Women’s Wear Daily in a Wednesday statement, denying the allegations of embezzlement. “Brandon Charnas does not have access to company bank accounts. He is not an employee of the company, and he has no access points.”
Arielle and Brandon have not publicly addressed the bank embezzlement claims, but have tweaked their social media profiles in light of the scandal. Brandon changed his Instagram account to private, while his wife restricted comments on her recent posts.
10 years as a leading website in the fashion and lifestyle space, Something Navy dropped its debut fashion line in 2020 before opening its own stores in the likes of New York City, Los Angeles and Dallas.
“I fell in love with putting looks together, documenting, styling and communicating with people from all over the world about fashion and style,” Arielle told Forbes in January 2021 of launching her blog. “I started off with partnerships, which eventually required that I grow my team, followed by collaborations and eventually launching a Something Navy clothing line within Nordstrom.”
