Sharon Stone has been dropped as a model for Christian Dior cosmetics following her controversial comments about the recent earthquake in China.
The company’s Chinese office has issues a statement, attributed to Stone, apologizing for the remarks that the quake was caused by bad ‘karma’.
In the statement, Stone says she is "deeply sorry" that her comments have upset people.
"Due to my inappropriate words and acts during the interview, I feel deeply sorry and sad about hurting Chinese people," it reads.
"I am willing to take part in the relief work of China's earthquake, and wholly devote myself to helping affected Chinese people."
Christian Dior was also keen to distance itself from the comments, with the company issuing a Chinese-language statement, saying: "We don't agree with her hasty, unreflecting remarks and we deeply regret them.
"We absolutely do not support any remark that hurts the Chinese people's feelings."
