Palestinian-American supermodel Bella Hadid was the face and brand ambassador of the luxury fashion house Dior for a long time. However, in a move that has shocked fans, they have replaced her with Israeli model May Tager for their new ad campaign and have been brutally trolled online. The news of the luxury fashion house making the replacement was reported by Turkish news agency Yeni Şafak English, even though both Dior or Hadid are yet to release an official statement. A local Israeli newspaper’s statement read- “While many companies around the world refrain from openly supporting Israel, international brand Dior has chosen Israeli model May Tager to lead their campaign, a role previously held by Bella Hadid, who has long been an advocate for the Palestinian cause and a vocal critic of Israel.” Online reactions One read- “The fact that Dior still gives the wife-beater Johnny Depp a platform despite everything that happened just tells you everything about that brand. Vile and unprofessional to target Bella when she has been vocal about Palestine from the very beginning.” Another one stated- “ The worst fashion decision taken so far! I’ll re-evaluate my luxury purchase too! Hope a lot will follow!" A third X post read, “Boycott every brand under LVMH including Dior (if you have the money).” Bella Hadid and her battle with Lyme disease Earlier in August, the supermodel said that it is possible that her absence from significant fashion shows this year would continue and that she will make a comeback to the catwalk when she is “ready,” following treatment for continuing health issues. Sharing a series of snaps showing herself receiving medical treatments, Hadid wrote, “Living in this state, worsening with time and work while trying to make myself, my family and the people who support me, proud, had taken a toll on me in ways I can’t really explain.” Hadid, who was diagnosed with the illness in 2013, added that she was “okay, finally healthy and “wouldn’t change anything for the world… it made who I am today.” R__ead all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here.
