Christian Dior didn’t like the comments Sharon made in a recent interview at Cannes Film Festival about the earthquake in China where Stone said:
“I’m not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don’t think anyone should be unkind to anyone else. And then all this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and I thought, is that karma — when you’re not nice that the bad things happen to you?”
Dior went on to state that:
“In light of the negative reaction that Sharon Stone’s inappropriate remarks have triggered, Dior China has decided to immediately cancel and stop any advertisements, marketing campaigns and commercial activities associated with Sharon Stone. We don’t agree with her hasty, unreflecting remarks and we deeply regret them. We just want our customers and fans to realize that her personal comments are not related to the company and of course we don’t support any type of commentary that will hurt the feelings of our customers.”
Basically one celebrity doesn’t sail this boat and we will not lose money or jeopardize business over Sharon’s ignorant statement. Dior has pulled all of their advertisements featuring stone from China due to her remarks about the earthquake happening because of bad karma.
Hmm…Sharon I guess karma is a bitch and two wrongs don’t make a right.
I wonder if they left the advertisements up in the US?
