Following the fallout from his comments last month that "some women's bodies just don't work" with yoga pants , Lululemon co-founder Chip Wilson is stepping down as the brand's chairman. (Though, apparently, the move had been in the works prior to the whole fat-shaming shitshow .) In a statement this morning , Lululemon confirms Wilson's resignation will be in effect by the company's next annual meeting in June 2014. He'll be replaced by the company's lead director Michael Casey, but will retain a position on the board.

In the same statement, Lululemon confirmed the appointment of its new CEO, Laurent Potdevin. Potdevin, currently president of TOMS, will take over from outgoing CEO Christine Day at the start of the next financial year to ensure "a smooth transition," rather than something that chafes uncomfortably like, oh, I don't know let's ask Chip Wilson for a metaphor. There it is: chubby thighs.
