Ksenia Sobchak
last night it became known that the German car brand Audi is breaking the contract with Ksenia Sobchak, who for eight years was the Ambassador of the brand in Russia. The reason for this were the statements of Xenia against the protests of the movement Black Lives Matter. Instagram TV presenter and journalist for the last time there was a few posts that caused a wide resonance.

Active network users discussed the black box (it has become a symbol of solidarity with the movement), which she accompanied with the soundtrack in the song “Killed a Negro” group “Forbidden drummers”. Later it turned out that it was part of the show Comment Out, and then Sobchak has deleted this post. But it did not go unnoticed by the other comments on developments in the United States, which began after the strangulation of George Floyd in detention by police.
she condemned the riots and looting of shops, and also pointed out some hypocrisy is universal support for the BLM.
Respected figures in the fashion industry, continue to post black squares in instagram. In other words, they told their direct advertisers: “Well, I think you crushed your business, well you will earn more”. br>
Those who was able to realize that to be successful you need to******* (lot of work), have become conditional Naomi Campbell, Obama and Winfrey. The rest will always find an excuse for themselves and their laziness and stupidity (here and further the punctuation and spelling retained. — Approx. edition)
— wrote Sobchak in instagram.
Those words in the end and alerted representatives of the German company. Sobchak was quoted by the German edition of Business Insider — the article was published on 24 June under the heading “Following the scandal with Volkswagen after the racist ad: the Ambassador of Russian brand Audi calls black people “stupid and lazy”.
according to Deutsche Welle, the same day the contract was terminated.
Known incidents are unacceptable
— said the representative of Audi Werner Neuhold in response to the request of the news Agency dpa.
in addition, he said that Audi “rejects all forms of racism and discrimination.”
After that, I went on the offensive Sobchak. Yesterday it announced that it intends to sue the German Business Insider that, in her opinion, it is incorrectly quoted.
I sue Business insider over libel. The German edition was published with the title “Ksenia Sobchak called black people stupid and lazy” and accused me of racism. It is an outright lie. Such words I never said. And especially do not share these views. I will demand a public apology. People are NOT divided into whites and blacks, Caucasians and Asians. But people are divided into smart and stupid. For those who have an opinion and those who follow the crowd. br>
I do not support any ��retest in any country, when it is associated with violence. For me the main value is life, liberty and private property. And Yes, my views are that the right-wing liberal views. I am against the quota and the total disbandment of the police. I’m against looting and vandalism . Apparently, in our fast-liveuser world, such views have been outlawed. But I was never afraid of pressure on himself in the country, not afraid of him and outside
— wrote Sobchak in his Facebook.
the Termination of cooperation with Audi, it has not yet commented.
we will Remind that it not the first scandal with the loss of advertising contracts in the Russian show business for the last time. Not so long ago of the advertisers lost and leading Regina todorenko after he made some controversial statements about domestic violence. Itself Sobchak, not so long ago appeared in the scandal center from-for jokes on the subject of pedophilia.
