In November 2023, the news dispersed on the Internet that, due to the statements in support of Palestine, the fashion house replaced Hadid with the Israeli fashion model May Tager. We decided to check if this is so.
Many media spoke about the scandalous dismissal of the supermodel (for example, Lenta.ru, BFM.ru, "News","Arguments and facts" Life). This is written by users of social networks (X, "VKontakte" Facebook*) And Platform blog. Published news and many popular Telegram channels, for example Mash (855,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), "VPSh"(355,000),"Rhymes and Panchi"(211 000), Kosti (192 000), "Moscow 24"(127 000).
American supermodel of Netherlando-Palestinian origin Bella Hadid For many years he has consistently in support of the movement of Palestine freedom. For example, in 2017 she published on Instagram* fastwhere she expressed regret regarding the recognition of Jerusalem by the capital of Israel Donald Trump, who then performed the duties of the US president. In 2022 she told In an interview with REP, her position on this issue cost her several advertising contracts and even relations with close friends.
Some time after Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel, which occurred on October 7, 2023, and Hadid published the response military operations on her Instagram page statement In support of civilians of Palestine. She apologized for a long silence, said that she and her family received threats because of her Palestinian origin, and stated that her heart was doused with blood due to what was happening in the gas sector. Hadid noticed that “a humanitarian crisis that needs to be done in gas is taking place in gas. Families need access to water and food. Hospital needs fuel to power generators, care for the wounded and maintaining people's lives. ” She called for "continuing to put pressure on our leaders, wherever we are, so that they do not forget about the pressing needs of the Gaza people and guarantee that the innocent Palestinian citizens will not become forgotten victims of this war." At the same time, in her statement, the supermodel condemned the actions of Hamas and stated that she mourns with Israeli families affected by terrorists.
"Verified" could not be found on site or in Accounts Dior c social networks Any official statements about the attack of Hamas and the subsequent reaction of Israel, so there is no reason to believe that the fashion house unequivocally supports one of the parties to the conflict. Bella Hadid worked Since Dior since 2016, and her earlier missing performances did not prevent her from being an ambassador of this brand.
Judging by the Instagram of the model, the cooperation of Hadid and Dior ceased long before October 2023 - back in March of the same year reportedthat the cooperation with the Charlotte Tilbury Beauty brand began. There were no official statements about Hadid from the French Fashion House, but beauty journalists assumedthat the model is unlikely to cooperate with both companies at once. Indeed, after announcing work with Charlotte Tilbury Beauty in account Supermodels on Instagram did not appear a single photo with Dior ads, as well as in Accounts There were no pictures or videos with Hadid. Moreover, the news agency Associated Press reports With reference to an anonymous source, familiar with the situation that the Hadid and Dior partnership ended even earlier - in March 2022 - for commercial reasons.
Rumors that Dior replaced Hadid with the Israeli Majager, appeared after publication in early November 2023 video The new festive advertising campaign of the fashion house, where, among other models, the tager also starred. However, it would be incorrect to say that she replaced Hadid in a fashion house, since the tager collaborated with Dior until October 2023, for example Participated In the New Year's advertising of the brand a year earlier. However, it is worth noting that the participation of the tager in both rollers is quite episodic, leading role in both videos went to the model and actress Ane Taylor-th. Hadid in the New Year's advertisement of 2022, as a year later, was not.
It should be noted that rumors about the dismissal of Bella Hadid from Dior due to the missing statements are not the first to arise. So, in May 2021 on the Internet also dispersed news On the breakdown of the contract with the supermodel due to her participation in the action in support of Palestine. However, Hadid represented the brand for almost a year.
Thus, Dior did not dismiss Hadid because of her missing position-by the time of the publication of the statement that allegedly caused a break in the contract with her, she had already worked with another brand for more than six months, and according to informed sources, her contract with Dior ended a year earlier. This is not the first public performance of the supermodel in support of Palestine, which had not previously prevented her from cooperating with a fashion house. The Israeli model May Tager, who was allegedly replaced by Hadid, worked with Dior earlier, she starred in their commercials more than a year before the events of October 2023 and the corresponding statement of Hadid.
