Bella Hadid replaced by Israeli model after pro-Palestine stance. American supermodel Bella Hadid has reportedly been replaced by a luxury fashion house as their brand ambassador, after voicing her support for Palestine.
As per the reports from a Middle-Eastern publication, supermodel Bella Hadid, who is of Palestinian descent from her father, Mohamed Hadid, and has been a staunch supporter of the ‘Free Palestine’ movement, has been removed from an upcoming campaign of a high-end French fashion brand, Dior.
According to the details, Hadid, who has been the face of Dior since 2016, and was the first brand ambassador of the company of Palestinian roots, was replaced by Israeli model May Tager, after she voiced her support for Gaza people following Israeli airstrikes.
Neither Hadid nor the brand has yet commented on the development, however, the recent post on Dior and Tager’s social media pages almost confirmed the replacement.
