Dior Drops Sharon
Filed under: Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone is definitely feeling the backlash of her comments. And hard. And where it hurts her most.
Not her heart, but her bank account!
Upscale retailer Christian Dior has just pulled all of their advertisements featuring stone from China due to her remarks about the earthquake happening because of bad karma.
Stone had a modeling contract with Dior's cosmetics section, which was being displayed in China.
In a recent statement, Christian Dior China stated, "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."
Major damage control!
It continues, "Dior was one of the first international brands to enter China and has won the affection and respect of the consuming public. We absolutely do not support any remark that hurts the Chinese people's feelings. We express our sorrow over the compatriots who lost their lives in the earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan, and we extend our sympathy and condolences to the people in the disaster area."
Stone has continued her apology campaign as well, being quoted by the Beijing News as saying, "In the course of the interview I made inappropriate remarks and for any harm created towards the Chinese people I am extremely sad and apologize."
A spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry, Qin Gang, said in a news conference, "We hope that as an American actress she can contribute to our two people's trust, understanding and friendship."
Maybe Stone should hire a bodyguard while she's helping out in China.
Just a thought.

first!!
eat me
The actual time I'm first, and I mispell my name.
First
SECOND!
hahaha
ha!
*** She has always been an idiot ! Innocent people died that day, children were orphaned - how dare she say something of that caliber. She went to far , way too far. But like I said, she has ALWAYS been an idiot.
what she said was iggnorant and disgusting
Yeah but I kind of agreed with her. Karma's a bitch!
how does an ugly bitch like her advertise for dior?
Great. Maybe she'll think next time before she opens her mouth.
ugh what a dumb slut…there goes her cash cow
Good for Dior!!!
it was truly thoughtless… regardless of how sorry she is, she is getting what she deserves… too bad… it will damage her a lot more than the hurt feelings the comment caused…
She was right to say what she said. Number one - it's true, number two, 1st amendment???
now that's KARMA…. HAHA Sharon!!!!!!!!!
First… Shes a dumb bitch
GO DIOR! ………….very nice.
it wasn't the children's fault… it may be the government, but not the innocent people. What a cruel bitch!
sucks for her poor lady stone
sucks
Didn't your mother ever teach you to THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK!
stupid BITCH i hope she rots in hell! think before u talk
She is stark raving mad. Dior got whatthey deserved by hiring that old hag in the first place.
so insensitive!!!
poor sharon!
second
Perez blow it out your ass , another lame article by Perez the want to be a columnist but fails every time as he makes up these little phoney out of reality bullshit stories . Your site totally sucks and I only look at it to tell you that . You have no credit in the journalism world do you really think you are another Rhona Barret well you are not . You make a clown out of yourself every time especially when you attack young people in hollywood you are a low life and it shows in your reporting.
Thank god!!!!
maybe cause she's a racist bitch??
love dior!!! she should watch what she says
good for Dior. do not feel sorry for Sharon Stone one bit, I'm sure she still has millions of dollars to cry on. She knows nothing about karma. Here's the deal: you do not call out karma! It is not for you or me or her to understand. And it is NOT about "payback." Her comments were as bad as Fallwell's about New Orleans and it's really unfortunate that she has such diahrrea of the mouth, but not surprising, as most ego-driven hollywood actor types have no connection whatsoever with either the rest of the world or true spirituality. Otherwise they'd be workin in the friggin Peace Corps instead of putting their autographs on checks.
She is SOOOO right
LOVE HER!!!!
second!
I think that she just meant to say that September 11 was karma for America for all the bad things America has done in history and it just came out the wrong way!
who cares? your site sucks
What an air head!!
Well if Dior were really upset with her they would fire her period. not just from China adds. I will use Dior nomore. Remember almost half of the people killed in the Quake were CHILDREN! Shron Stone, KISS MY ASS!
IRONY at its finest!
Guess Sharon's now getting a taste of what REAL karma is like!
Like the majority of the other arrogant, but basically ignorant liberals in Hollyweird, she has opened her silly mouth without thinking of the consequences. I hope there are further negative ramifications to this cruel and utterly moronic outburst of hers.
i think people should realize that you should not judge people by the actions of their government. for example not all americans agree with bush´s choices. so many people who were innocent and have nothing to do with the tibet issue were killed or had family killed by the earthquake.
Re: SANDY –
the first amendment does not apply to COMMUNIST CHINA, dipshit. And she wasn't censored or banned from her saying her (horrible, wrong, misinformed) free speech, she was reprimanded. financially. which is what she deserved. now THATS karma.
I feel sorry for her.. she probably didnt mean to.. she just wanted to look cool talking about karma and shit
Re: kurty –
In that case you have to agree that 9/11 was karma for the USA and all the crap the government has done.
HAHAHA karma sharon karma your stupid mouth and for wearing fur,goes to show you are the real cruel, hartless person to animals and people.
Another example of a Hollywood has-been whose mouth is larger than her IQ.
interestingly the mother of the dali lama said that she felt only compassion for the chinese when they invaded Tibet in '59–because they had created bad karma by doing so.
Sandy……..another example of an American who exercises her right to be ignorant.
Maybe it's kinda like Perez lost the Chili's restaurant account ’cause someone called Chili's and asked why a family restaurant would advertise on a gay rights website that draws cum dripping from celbrity photos, uses the words fuck and shit all over the place, and advertises sex toys. They must have shit their pants. Voila, no Chili's ads today.
LETS ALL BOYCOTT DIOR FOR SUPPORTING CHINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew China!!
YOU CAN'T RUN AROUND BEING CONTROLLED BY THE MOB, EVEN IF YOU ARE FAMOUS, DO AND SAY WHAT YOU WANT. OR BE A SLAVE.
She has always been INSANE .. did she attribute her brain aneurysm a few years ago to her bad karma?
Stupid snobby cunt she gets what she deserves. All those inoccent kids have nothing to do what the Chinese Government has done. Another Hollyweird celebutard that acts like they know what they are talking about. Oh well good for us, gives us something to rip them about!
Stupid woman.
Re: SANDY –
There's no such thing as "Freedom of Speech" or "Freedom of Expression" or "Everyone's entitled to their own opinion"
From the reference article: "Some celebrities should just stick to acting and keep quiet when it comes to politics."
Exactly. Because when anyone says out loud what they are thinking in their head, something that may not be so Politically Correct, they get shit storm rained down on them. So keep your thoughts and opinions in your head and you'll contiune to be loved and keep your job.
good for Sharon - China is not a nice country - any of you realize that if you lived there - you would never be able to get on blogs like this & and express your thoughts There is very little freedom in that country - Sharon was addressing the gov't oppression- not the people - and btw all you conservative flag waivers out there take a look at your labels - where is everything made these day's? China -if you support the USA then you will put your money where your mouth is and buy AMERICAN.
Of course she's an idiot but do you know how many people said America "deserved what we got on 9/11?" Sharon Stone isn't the first to put her foot in her mouth (and down her own throat). What do you expect? Most celebrities never finished high school, much less any form of higher education and most are too selfish to have any real understanding of global tragedies.
HA HA HA way to go Dior!!!
What an ignoramus Sharon has been and will always be!
COMMUNIST LOVER PEREZ! The Chinese tried to kill our American children and pets. Screw them! Don't you help them Sharon, they don't deserve it.
This was a really thoughtless and ignorant thing to say…
Perhaps Sharon Stone should educate herself about the situation in China before she opens her mouth
No matter what the Chinese government has done
it has nothing to do with the innocent people in China that have died, lost their family, friends…
It's just a horrible tragedy and not enough people understand, or are reaching out
'Karma' is simply just not scientific fact. Celebrities have to be very careful thinking out loud. Foot in mouth, ooops, proffer apology, next. Sharon is more than a survivor, and will land on her feet. At least she cares about something other than just herself a lot of the time. Plus she's still a beautiful woman.
China now feel bad and bold for picking on a defenseless woman. Way to go! Now try to pick on American government jackasses.
This be-iotch shoul stick to keeping her legs open and her mouth shut.
Oh look- Karma's a bitch, SHARON! It's hard to stay likeable and relevant when you're saying shitty things and blaming people who have endured major disaster and suffering for what their GOVERNMENT has done. Stick to what you do best- getting drunk and flashing your vagina.
I'm BOYCOTTING CHINA PRODUCTS………No way any Chinese will have me turn against my own. They are the true baby killers. Some of us Americans need to read a book.
Well, ain't it a shame someone can't say what they feel..it's like, Hmm let's see..it's like She lives in a COMMUNIST country.
It's sad that bad stuff happened to ordinary citizens- wish it just happened to the political peeps in China and Burma : ) Yeah, I said it. What you gonna do take away my Dior contract? LOL!!! Screw China and Burma.
For crap sake- stop worrying about someone's opinions. Read a damn book or newspaper or documentary on China and start boycotting them. They are ruthless- ask Tibet or the Burma monks- both peaceful people. Damn people- educate yourselves!!!! Instaed of waa waa waaa she said something bad waaa.
Wow. She's really paying for that mouth. Karma can be fast to bite you back. China didn't earn or deserve that earthquake anymore than we did 9-11.
Is this what happens when someone is honest. I can't say I disagree. China is being a bully and being Buddhists themselves, they should already have aknowledged the idea that is MAY ACTUALLY be karma… Stand ur ground Sharon!
Sharon might be an idiot but she is still an American. I will not defend a country that murder children, and suppress it's people Perez. You might love communist, but communist is evil.
Dior-clad Chinese people. I'm sorry, but the thought of that makes me laugh (which I realize is very non-PC, but I'm not very PC on the best of days).
I thinking, is this karma — when you're not nice and bad things happen to you? hahahha dumb blond
lol, that is bad karma!
karmmmaaa what goes around comes back! sharon's stupid for even thinking that way
WHAT A DUMB ASS BITCH! I GUESS NEW ORLEANS AND 911 WERE KARMA TOO!
WHAT A HORRIBLE THING TO SAY WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN DISTRESS. SOMEONE NEEDS TO SLAP HER!
It's funny how you simply can't speak your mind anymore. While Chinese karma certainly didn't cause their horrific earthquake and those comments were inappropriate, it doesn't change the fact that China has a fucked up human rights record and terrorizes the Tibetan people at every turn. And as a communist society, they pretty much terrorize their non-Tibetan population. Limiting births to one per family! Drowning girls! It's not talked about! Love life Sharon Stone. And I can boycott those roll-overs at Dior. Fuckers. Why would the French company Dior cowtow to the Chinese? It's all incredible.
