'Support for Palestine': Cosmetic brand drops Bella Hadid
Entertainment
Many fans speculate that the reason behind the split is Palestine issue
The news comes as a surprise
(Web Desk) - In an unexpected turn of events, according to several reports, cosmetic giant Charlotte Tilbury ended its partnership with supermodel Bella Hadid in November, barely eight months after the model got on board.
In March 2023, the makeup company introduced Hadid as the new face of the brand, making her the face of one of their highly coveted lipstick ranges.
The decision to abruptly sever ties has left both fans and industry insiders puzzled, with many speculating the real reason behind it.
The company’s decision to cite "force majeure" as the reason is also being regarded as odd. One fan took to social media to express their confusion:
According to Cornell Law School, a "force majeure" is a provision that frees both parties from obligation in case there is an "extraordinary event" that prevents either party from taking action.
It is incredibly rare for this provision to be invoked in this context, especially since the specifics of the "extraordinary event" have not been disclosed.
The news comes as a surprise, especially since Hadid and Charlotte Tilbury have had a seemingly amicable relationship so far.
The unexpected shift from a close bond to the termination of the contract has left fans questioning the circumstances surrounding the split.
Many fans speculate that the reason behind the split might have something to do with Hadid’s support for Palestine.
Hadid's father is Palestinian and she is half-Palestinian.
The model has been known for her outspoken stance on social and political issues, including her advocacy for the people of Gaza.
