Sharon Stone dropped by Dior over China quake comments

, Prev Next
Sharon Stone is beginning to feel the aftershock from ticking off one billion Chinese people.

Christian Dior has removed advertisements featuring the actress from stores across China after she suggested that the recent Chinese earthquake was the result of “bad karma” for the government’s treatment of Tibet.

"I'm not happy about the way the Chinese are treating the Tibetans because I don't think anyone should be unkind to anyone else," Sharon said yesterday during an interview with Hong Kong's Cable Entertainment News. "And then this earthquake and all this stuff happened, and then I thought, is that karma? When you're not nice that the bad things happen to you?"

Sharon’s comments have drawn a wave of outrage, with many Chinese cinemas vowing not to show her films... though we doubt they’ll stop downloading them and selling them on the street for five bucks.

Dior said in a statement: "Due to some customer reaction we have decided to pull her image from all of the department stores and from all of China."

Meanwhile, Sharon is doing some mighty fast backpedalling, issuing an apology and offering to travel to China to help the quake victims in any way she can. We're not so sure that's a good idea... how many bodyguards can you fit on the plane Sharon?
