Sharon Stone feels the hurt...


Sharon Stone is definitely feeling the hurt from the backlash of her comments made about China. Hard. And it's where it hurts the most...

Her bank account obviously!

Upscale French fashion house Christian Dior has just removed all of their ads featuring Stone from China due to what she said about the earthquake happening because of bad karma.

Stone had ads in the Dior cosmetics collection, which were displayed in all different parts of China.

In a recent statement, Christian Dior China stated, "In light of the negative reaction that Sharon Stone's inappropriate remarks have triggered, Dior China has decided to immediately cancel and stop any advertisements, marketing campaigns and commercial activities associated with Sharon Stone. We don't agree with her hasty, unreflecting remarks and we deeply regret them. We just want our customers and fans to realize that her personal comments are not related to the company and of course we don't support any type of commentary that will hurt the feelings of our customers."

It continues, "Dior was one of the first international brands to enter China and has won the affection and respect of the consuming public. We absolutely do not support any remark that hurts the Chinese people's feelings. We express our sorrow over the compatriots who lost their lives in the earthquake in Wenchuan, Sichuan, and we extend our sympathy and condolences to the people in the disaster area."

Stone has continued her apologies, being quoted by the Beijing news as saying, "In the course of the interview I made inappropriate remarks and for any harm created towards the Chinese people I am extremely sad and apologize."

A spokesman for China's Foreign Ministry, Qin Gang, said in a news conference, "We hope that as an American actress she can contribute to our two people's trust, understanding and friendship."

Maybe next time Stone is in China, she should hire some sort of security.

Just a thought.
