Shashi Naidoo Loses Endorsement Deals Following Her Gaza Comments! It’s been one hell of a week for the model and influencer who found herself in hot water after her ignorant comments on the situation in Gaza.
Shashi had taken to social media calling Gaza a “sh*thole” and appearing to be pro-Israeli. She bashed Gaza for not using aid and resources in helping its population but pursuing an “ambition to annihilate Israel”.
Social media was not the only people offended and disgusted by her remarks. Branda which had been associated by the model also distanced themselves from her. Brands including Glampalm Africa, horse racing company Gold Circle and designer Adila Dhorat.
Shashi revealed that she had pretty much lost it all. “In terms of personal brand endorsements, yes, I have pretty much lost all my endorsements but I think it was necessary and perhaps it will give me more time to focus on other things,” she said.
“I have been thinking about that. I don’t blame… I understand completely that I have to be held accountable for my actions. So, brands choosing at this point to disassociate themselves from me, I don’t bear any animosity, I understand it completely,” she added.
“I am going to use my voice to learn more and help others who have been ignorant about the situation.”
