Dior China Drops Stone after Quake Comments
BEIJING — Sharon Stone may have apologized for her controversial remarks on China’s massive earthquake, but it’s not stopping the actress from getting her own dose of bad karma.
Reacting to the rising furor over Stone’s comments at the Cannes Film Festival, Dior China said Thursday that it is removing and recalling all advertisements featuring Stone. Meanwhile, local press reported that citizens were ripping down billboards in several locations.
