L’Oreal drops black trans model Munroe Bergdorf for commenting on white supremacy

Cosmetic giant L’Oreal Paris U.K. has announced that they have dropped trans model Munroe Bergdorf after her comments against white supremacy went viral. Bergdorf is the first transgender model to appear in a L’Oreal Paris U.K. beauty campaign as part of their mission to promote diversity and inclusion.

She was dropped after UK website, The Daily Mail, published an article with the headline, “L’Oréal Transgender Model Says That All White People Are Racist.”

The brand went on Twitter to announce that they have cut ties with the model.

The model and DJ took out time to clarify her in a statement

Many are showing solidarity with Bergdorf on Twitter.

  1. She lost me @ “Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people.”

    I completely get her message but some things are better worded carefully especially when you’re representing a brand.
