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.

Sharon wasn't talking about the nation, she was talking about the government. The monks were treated badly from the government. That is who she was talking about. Sad fact is that you all know this, but it's all pretend not knowing so you can trash her. What good deeds you have done recently? You feel better if you do something kind to person next to you. Try it, you may like it!!
Stupid fucking business move because the market for designer fragrances in China is relatively new. Sharon Stone almost died once. Maybe it made her a little screwy.
This unmoral capitalistic beast whore has no right to judge the workers of the world. My she rot in Hollywood with all her parts going to younger, attractive and more talented actresses. I have never forgiven the way she had stuttering John assaulted.
Maybe what that dunce needs is to hire herself a brain companion, cuz she sure is STOOOOOOPID.
all you people saying "ooh karma's a bitch, i agree with her" are fucking idiots. The actions of the chinese government cause the suffering in Tibet, not the 80,000ish civilians who died, including 900 children. They had nothing to do with the suffering in Tibet, so shut the fuck up.
all of you are so pathetic with your passion for "an eye for an eye" that you can even feel basic human compassion for innocent people who have lost their lives. Do you even know what karma is? Get a life!
Sharon may rot, but it's not going to be in hell. You may rot in hell. Sharon may have spoken the truth about the Chinese government, and have paid dearly for it. But, I want to thank Sharon for all the good work she had done, for Lupus, Cancer awareness, Aids, the homeless, I can go on forever here on this blog. You understand where I'm going with this, don't you?
You should have shut the f up! You know in Hollyweird, everything is about $$$$$. You should have lied. Now karma has played you. You should have waited until you're old, rich and insane to voice your opinion. Oh, you're already at this point. Sorry, carry on!
Tell that "mensa genius" to crawl under a rock and disappear. She's so out of touch and heartless it's beyond belief. And to claim she's a friend of the Dali Lama??!!! She's exactly what truly spiritual people do not need!
First of all, to everyone who didn't know that when Sharon Stone said her little comment, she said it in France not in the US and although she is a US citizen, the 1st amendment and France does not care or apply (duh). And not everyone in China worked in those factories or companies that have had all those bad toys, tires, and dog food, etc…. It definitely is not KARMA for all those children who died. China may not be a democracy, but if you are going to ill on people, do it to the people in government in China who by the way were all safe and not the innocent people who have to live in substandard housing and shacks.
sorry. she was dead right. they deserve it.
Karma may play Sharon indeed! There's good Karma and bad Karma. Sharon is not afraid to work. Sharon got down on her knees and clean the entire church floor. I bet you don't know about that? She go down in the worst part of Los Angeles late at nights to help the hopeless. I bet you don't know that about her? There are things that many of us don't know about Sharon, because she does it without any camera or media. When you see her in the spot light, happy confident, that is a different Sharon Stone. There's two sides to her. The public side and the private side. So don't judge people, because you don't know in private what they do for others.
Can't you slopes take a freakin' joke??? Kung Foo my cunt, Chang Ho!
No! We no take joke. Chinese are the serious about all things.
You don't joke because you take thing seriously? Well, that is why the chinese are evil. If we sometimes cannot laugh and let things roll off our shoulders, then you are not human. You have no heart or soul you chinks. Go lick your government ass, you deserve what you get.
Re: Kristina – Yes, karma is a bitch and so are you Kristina. Your remark is ignorant and viscous. Despite what your political views might be, over 65,000 innocent people (children included) died in the travesty on 5/12 and your so-called KARMA will bit you in your FAT, Cellulite produced ASS BITCH!
All of the idiots saying they agree…just look at the horrible things happening to the US. Tornados, Katrina, 9/11, school and shopping mall massacres. The US is recieving so much karma!!! LOL!
Love ya'll xoxo Pee Ling
It's not the asian people fault that they are controlled under a communist leader. As a result, look at her career… Dior dropped her, bad press, and no career. Karma bites you in the ass idiot.
Yes, and this is me exercising my 1st amendment rights in response to your remarks SANDY. Shut your ugly pie hole and get an education, become less of a redneck you ignorant, hillbilly, shit for brain whore!AMNEN
Dior only cares about making money in China & now that they are the 'world's factory' everyone has to kiss their ass-pathetic! Tibet is yet 1 more area also known as "The Holy Land", it isn't only Israel
911 Karma?
Katrina Karma?
us tornadoes Karma?
Mall massacres Karma?
I don't know if those events were Karma or not. It is up to the individual to decide for themselves. What I won't do is to go after you and strip you from your job, that may need to feed your family. That act came from China against Sharon. I don't agree!!
Re: kurty –
KURTY…you’re either a 45 year old virgin-mama’s boy or a socially inept retard for loving the ill-mouthed Sharon Stone. I heard the 85 year old Austrian dad Josef Fritzel (Austrian father) is looking for another strayed freak to keep locked up…better watch you back SON.
Re: cream – EWWWW CREAM. Cream on your face and your political views on China. Without that country, the majority of the world economics will crumble and deteriorate in ruin. And pathetic little you will have to resort to turning tricks to make a $1 out of 5 cents, which is your going rate…boo on you! Shameful, shameful, sharmful!
Re: chloe –
Okay CHLOE…Buy American WHAT??? Hardly anything is made in America, unless you consider FORD vehicles for be worthy of purchasing. Have you lived in CHINA? Are you speaking from experience or from your ginormous ASS? Both of which should be kept SHUT. Spare the world and the public from viewing, seeing, or listening to your pathetic, nonsensical comments emerging from your BIG infested hole.
Excuse me, without the United State , Chinese would not be working at all. We are the ones who import from your Evil country. Without us, your country will crumble. You jerks.
Re: cariboulou – Woohoo PEREZ. Boohoo Lillte! Chauvinistic, xenophobic prick!
Re: GO SHA –
GO SHA… probably? Research your comments prior to speaking them! IDIOT! America is the NUMBER ONE leading cause of global warming. Keep blogging. We need more ridiculous, unresearched losers like you speaking your feeble mind and expressing your thoughts. Good going, go back to the third grade. Are you smarter than a 5th grade??? I don’t think so!!!!
Re: piss – Re: piss –
PISS on YOU. might want to reconsider your blog fuck-for-brains retard. It’s the other way around Bitch!

stop dissing china your jerks and assholes. dont go and blame everyone else for problems in the states. go home and look at your so called preppy brands like ralph lauren and abercrombie polos, they are freaking made in china. and as for the lead toys, thats the government's fault. the thousands deaths of innocent little kids caused by natural disaster have nothing to do with politics. and the old hag sharon stone deserve to be stepped and hated on… its karma, bitch.
Tibet WAS,IS,and ALWAYS WILL BE a part of China
www.dalai-liar.com
I agree with her.
plenty of celebs talk sh*t about america an no one cares. china needs to get over it. shes just one person, im surprised that they know who she is enough to care. they're milkin it!!!!
you don't use a tragedy as a chance to air a political point, however much you have the right to do so. you just don't.

you don't use a tragedy as a chance to air a political point, however much you have the right to do so. you just don't.
DIS OLD HAG IS OVER.
i can't believe what people are saying here. china has been through so much and idiots like sharon stone can still bad-mouth china. i will never forgive sharon stone or those who say shit about my country. everyday i turn on my tv and everyday i hear more touching and moving and horrible horrible stories of viticims. children lost their parents, families lost their home and people lost everything that they built.
i am proud of china for trying to stand on her feet again, just weeks before the olympics. STOP BOYCOTTING CHINA! its almost olympics and isnt olympics a global event? meaning every country has a chance to participate? think about it, is this the time you really want to stop china and stop the olympics, an event that means the world to the world? have a little sympathy.
i say good job dior. prove to the world that those who doesnt sympathize china will have their punishments. GO CHINA AND GO OLYMPICS 2008!
oh btw, do you know by putting 911 and the katrina incident together, the number of death is still far from the earthquake in china? im not saying americans are jerks or anything but when katrina happened, the whole U.S. freaked out. now the number of death in china is more than thrice of the number of death by katrina and you guys can still bullshit china? how would you feel if i say 911 is america's karma? yea i guess right. no matter how you might feel about china, still remember that there are innocent people dying under rocks and millions are buried underground by natural distaster. only the ones without proper education and a heart would say such terrible thing about china, aka SHARON STONE.
Olympics? After this disaster you thinking Olympics. There's the difference between USA and China. They would rather use the money for superficial purposes, than helping their own people. Sorry, the Chinese have no heart, because they do not know how to really love anybody but themselves.
It may have been a "little" harsh… but Sharon Stone made some good points, and although her passion for Tibetans may have been at the expense of the Chinese… we have Freedom of Speech in North America and I support Sharon's comments. Also, I think it was taken to literal. She didn't want thousands of Chinese kids to die…she just meant "now how does it feel China to be the one suffering"..
Re: pett –
umm the chinese govt is not blaming sharon stone for causing anything. your statement absolutely does not make any logical sense. it's the US MEDIA that is playing the clip over and over again. AND YES what she said was unconscionable and totally suggested something very heinous. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. AND YOUR CHINA=EVIL comments are ridiculous. Take a look at the US govt and then try to tell me that all the political decisions they make are pure and holy? THE POINT IS OVER 80,000 INNOCENT PEOPLE DIED, 5 million people are homeless due to this earthquake! WHO CARES ABOUT SHARON STONE!? She clearly has the brain of a peanut and has no articulation whatsover. I find it absolutely disgusting that people are ranting about 'chinese people being murderers and evil' and that they deserved this! No country deserves a disaster like this! you people should be very ashamed for the ignorant comments that you are making
I Love Sharon Stone with all me heart and my soul! Yes, it was a mistake of her to say that, but it´s just human to make falts!!!
I LOVE YOU, SHARON STONE!!!!!
- Mimi -
idiot…now thats real karma. shes already like a what…. 2nd rate, 3rd rate actress? and when theres no room for her in Hollywood, going abroad is the next best thing. but now she just fucked it up. bitch totally deserved it.
I AM SORRY TO SAY THIS BUT I AGREE WITH HER…..
Sharon might be a 3rd grade actor, but take your F grade kung fu fighting actors with you back to your Commuist Hell Country.
When will these Hollywood morons ever learn to shut their dumb mouths? Celebrities make a living by being fake people when they act. So when they open their flytraps and make stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupid comments then they have no credibility. Stone is a moron and lately a seriously BAD actress, so she just shot herself in the foot even more. No one cares about her. No one cares about Clooney running his pie-hole either. Shut up and act.
shut the fuck up! you don't even know how much the chinese government has done for the country… what the hell do you mean by superficial purposes? you're not even chinese so you have no right to say anything about chinese people! get your facts right before you speak or you'll end up looking like a real dick!
Re: moron – I'm sorry but the "F grade kungfu actors" are apparently hired by hollywood filmmakers. And what in the world would make you think that china is a "communist hell country"? Have you even been there? Tons of foreigners including americans like you are moving there so you can shut your piehole you ignorant fucker.
Many of the Chinese doesn't like the American talking about them and their Country. Well, stop talking about Americans and USA. If you give us shit we will give you shit back. If you Boycott us, we will Boycott you too. It's Karma!
Re: ROB – YOU SHOULD DIE
She should die? Of course you would think that way. Because thatn is how the Chinese think. When they disagree with you they kill you. Typical to the Chinese Government. Congratulations! You are a reflection of Evil.
okay,i am really sick of this shit,where we cannot say anything we feel,what a world we are in,always having to beafraid of what to say,because maybe some organization is going to sue or ban you for life from their country,i hate hate hate it.
I could understand if Sharon had gone to China and said, all this shit is from Karma. She didn't! She was in Paris on the red carpet and was ask a question. She answered it honestly. Unfortunately honesty is not the best policy. You have to be a panderer, and lie to make people love you. Good for Sharon, I too was horrified watching the bad treatment towards the Tibetans. I'm happy that someone had the guts to speak truth. Now she will have to suffer the consequence of that. It's OK Sharon, I love you more for that reason.
Re: ummmmm –
Obviously her opinion and/or opinions did have a consequence- Dior dropped her ads. Words can have consequences. Just look at what Jeremiah Wright's opinions caused in reference to Obama's campaign. Does it make it right? No, but there can be consequences from words alone (whether in a direct or indirect manner).
I agree, you don't call Karma out. To claim to understand is putting yourself on the same level as God or the universe and sadly, none of us, even in Hollywood, are quite that divine.
Intellectually her argument is flawed. How could she consider this tragedy as an act of karma. It seems a little unfair and lopsided to punish the feeble and innocent people of China to enact divine retribution for China and Tibet's politics. Now if the politicians in China alone were taken out, perhaps that would make more sense. We don't know what's in their minds and hearts, & consciences; maybe they suffer terribly, we'll never know.
Things are never as they appear.
what I also find so sad is how people are on here comparing natural disasters to each other. Regardless of the difference of loss of lives, a death is a death!! Loss of life is nor more significant for a US citizen to a Chinese citizen. Someone stated earlier hopw Katrina wasn't that big of a deal. Have you ever been to NO to witness the devestation. That area became its own 3rd world country within the US. People are still homeless and the area is still in shambles. Maybe a disaster in the US means little to anyone else, but here it was the biggest natural disaster to hit the country. How about showing compassion for all loss of life rather than basing it on the number who died. That seems much more respectful and decent!
Sharon said it was wrong to think it's Karma. She had learned a lesson for thinking that way. But when you are given half her comment, this is the reaction you get. They won! That was the objective by the Media.
I dont really think she meant it in a 'they deserve it' way, …. and i dont really disagree with her. people say everyday that 'things happen because God/Buddha/whoever wants them to be this way' and then when someothing actually happens and you tell them its because god wanted it to be that way they get offended.
You reap what you sew! Meaning Karma! Sharon didn't invent it, God did. That is what God teaches us. Do good things and good things comes back to you. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. That's life, the good suffers for the bad. In order to bring Bad people down, some good people will be apart of that process.
You're all just dissing her because Perez is…get opinions of your own…You're all probably 13 anyway and have no idea how the real works! Get a clue! Who fucking care if Dior China drops Sharon Stone??? She's still got it in every other country!! Get the fuck over it….Perez…you're a moron…i hope you realize that

–No one needs to LIE about anything. It's called tact and compassion! Of course there is such a thing as freedom of speech, she has every right to say all the bullshit she wants so if she's going to put herself out there then she should expect the worst. Lastly, what truth are you talking about? What EXACTLY have you witnessed? During the Tibetan uprising, the Chinese police refused to strike any of the rebels!! And the rebels were the ones torching businesses and homes and hurting innocent people. How old are you and what do you know about history? Everything that has been fed to you about Tibet is misrepresented by the media and very biased. Do some research before you try to speak "the truth." Try to look at things from more than just a narrow-minded perspective.
THERE WAS A SIMILARLY LARGE EARTHQUAKE IN TIBET ABOUT A WEEK BEFORE. NOT NEARLY AS MANY PEOPLE DIED OR BECAME HOMELESS BECAUSE NOT AS MANY PEOPLE LIVED THERE. LOGIC!
WAS THAT DUE TO BJORK SCREAMING "TIBET, TIBET" AND HURTING PEOPLE? TIBETANS WENT ON A FORCEFUL STRIKE AND BURNED STUFF. AND THAT IS A GOOD THING?
DARFUR IS THE ISSUE, MUCH MORE THAN TIBET.
Isn't life shit? The same media that bring us Tebet problems is the same media that bring us Sharon Stone and Karma. Who do you believe?
I was thinking the same damn thing as Sharon!!! Its ALWAYS the bottom line, the GReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that's karma! LOL
Sharon speaks the truth. Stop killing babies China! Modernize your culture.
Boo hoo hoo, who cares about China. Damn communist country. It is sick that we need to concern ourselves with CHINA, we are not the United States anymore but China. Everything is made in China. China this, China that. YUCK.
Stone, do not apologize for anything, YOU GO GIRL.
Everyone should boycott all products made in China.
what's with all the hating on China?
first of all if we boycotted all of China's goods then we would have nothing. the U.S. invests a lot of its business in China and vice versa so we are all interdependent. boycott and you ruin the economy stupid
second of all china doesn't kill babies. the govt. does not go out there and find babies to kill. you are allowed to have more than one child but you have to pay a fine. WHY IS THIS? because the population is massive! I challenge you to try to figure out a better way to control such a large population! there is no other way damn it. if birth was not controlled then there wouldn't be enough resources to go around. SHIEET WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE GET AN EDUCATION
third of all, china is modernizing. why the hell would they get picked to host the olympics!? china has more skyscrapers than the U.S.! just take a glimpse at some of the comments and this post…so UNCULTURED SO RUTHLESS AND IGNORANT. THESE people need to get modernized
NEW FLASH……….
Mother Earth is angry. Look out America!!!
Re: peej – In response to your statement, "How does it feel New Orleans to be the one suffering?" How about, "How does it feel New York to be the one suffering?" Are these statements less hateful?
Sharon Stone miss spoke. She apologized so now it's time to move on. We must learn to forgive!!
uhh, peerez, as a 'designer' yourself, you know that she has already been paid…The money is hers…They are just distancing themselves from her…Woman has it in the bank..
Re: Kristina – KINDA LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN THE 911 ATTACKS? LIKE NEW ORLEANS? KARMA HUH? YOU THINK INNOCENT PEOPLE DESERVE THIS? I'D LIKE TO SEE KARMA HAPPEN TO YOU, FUCKING CUNT!
First of all the clip was edited. The entire story is in the the New York Times. Sharon was telling the reporter about the fundraising organization that was been set up to help the victims. But, they erase everything she was saying to the part to Karma. Sharon wasn't talking about the citizen of China. She was talking about the Government. Everything was distorted. Even her apology was rewritten to make her look bad. This is where in the world we have reach, where wrong is right, and right is wrong. Now Sharon is being blame for something that was taken out of context. We are asking everybody in China who was the news media that tape the comment? The name was blurred out on the clip. Why would they blurred out the name if they were legit?
Re: ron – Well aren't you a racist little bastard
i think it funny what she said the asians had it coming for them lol
Doesn't anyone remember this woman suffered a horrific brain injury ? She's doing amazingly well and making misstatements is pretty normal for that type of injury. Have some compassion people !!
she proves that honkies are subhuman and need to be completely eliminated. Slavery, holocaust, genocide of Native Americans, imperialism, Jim Crow, etc, etc all due to these demonic crackers. I know China will one day invent a biological weapon that racially targets and kills these subhuman filth. once these evil roaches are completely wiped off the face of the Earth, human beings around the world will be able to live in peace.
testing
hallo….when Sharon Stone said these things…..what is the difference with right-wing Christians who say this or that natural disaster is a form of punishment from God? Dont u think those comments are deplorable and actually bankrupt the concept of Christianity? And when Sharon Stone, who is not a Buddhist apparently, make these comments, dont u think she just bankrupted Buddhism?
The many victims of the earthquake are actually also ethnic Tibetans. She didnt know, that area is a mixed-ethnicity area, alot of Tibetans live there. The 'karma' for 'bad treatment of Dalai Lama' has claimed the lives of many Tibetan children. In some perfectures and counties, the percentage of ethnic Tibetans are close to half. If I tell this to her, would this embarass her?
Whatever you sew, so shell you reap. God said this!
Does she not know that the Quake hit in a place where its heavy populated by Tibetan?
