Yesterday Sharon Stone issued a second apology after her remarks last week when she wondered aloud if the earthquake in China that has left almost 90,000 dead or missing may have been karma because the Chinese government is mean to the Dali Lama. This new apology is in stark contrast to an interview she did with the New York Times just 4 days ago. In that interview, she discussed her getting dumped by Dior for their ad campaigns in China. The Times said…
Early last week, Ms. Stone said, she received a call from Sidney Toledano, the chief executive of Dior, which hired the actress for beauty advertisements in 2005. “I talked to Sidney and I said: ‘Let’s get serious here. You guys know me very well. I’m not going to apologize. I’m certainly not going to apologize for something that isn’t real and true — not for face creams.’ ”
Stone was upset because Dior issued an apology in her name which she says does not reflect her beliefs.
Ms. Stone said that she told Mr. Toledano of Dior that since she didn’t believe she had done anything wrong, why didn’t Dior let her clarify her remarks with a statement? Yet the apology released in Ms. Stone’s name by Dior’s office in Shanghai bears little resemblance to (Stones original statement) and the difference seemed to irritate the star. To many bloggers, the apology made Ms. Stone seem at once groveling and insincere — another actress doing what she has to save a movie career. "It makes it appear that I’m in agreement that I did a bad thing,” Ms. Stone said.
So is this bitch sorry she said 90,000 Chinese people had it coming when karma dropped a building on them or not? It doesn’t seem like she is. It also doesn’t seem like I can go wrong in snug fit jeans. Sorry ladies, I’m taken!
