Bella Hadid has broken her silence over the recent controversial Adidas campaign by expressing that she is ‘shocked’ in a statement uploaded to her Instagram stories on Monday.
The supermodel, 27 – who recently hired lawyers after her Adidas SL72 campaign was pulled – starred in the retro sneakers campaign but soon faced backlash due to the ad referencing the 1972 Munich Olympics that saw terrorists kill 11 Israelis.
The pro-Palestinian star penned a lengthy message to her followers and began with, ‘For those of you who do not know my heart, I want to make sure you’re hearing directly from me about my recent campaign with adidas.’
Hadid expressed she ‘would never knowingly engage with any art or work that is linked to a horrific tragedy of any kind.’
‘In advance of the campaign’s release, I had no knowledge of the historical connection to the atrocious events in 1972. I am shocked, I am upset, and I am disappointed in the lack of sensitivity that went into this campaign.’
