        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Model Munroe Bergdorf called out former employer L&#8217;Oreal Paris after the company shared an Instagram post in support of Black Lives Matter on Monday.</p><p>&#8220;Excuse my language but I am SO angry. F—K YOU @lorealparis,&#8221; Bergdorf <a href="https://twitter.com/MunroeBergdorf/status/1267460238678069249" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted</a> along with a screenshot of <strong>L&#8217;Oreal&#8217;s message</strong>, which said that &#8220;speaking out is worth it&#8221; and voiced the beauty giant&#8217;s &#8220;solidarity with the Black Community&#8221; and &#8220;commitment to the @naacp to support progress in the fight for justice.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;You dropped me from a campaign in 2017 and threw me to the wolves for speaking out about racism and white supremacy. With no duty of care, without a second thought,&#8221; the model continued, in part. &#8220;I had to fend for myself being torn apart by the world&#8217;s press because YOU didn&#8217;t want to talk about racism. You do NOT get to do this. This is NOT okay, not even in the slightest.&#8221;</p><p>Bergdorf made headlines in 2017 as L&#8217;Oréal&#8217;s first transgender model to appear in a British campaign, but days later, the cosmetics conglomerate <strong>fired her</strong>&nbsp;for speaking up against the violent white supremacy demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia.</p><p>&#8220;L’Oréal champions diversity. Comments by Munroe Bergdorf are at odds with our values and so we have decided to end our partnership with her,&#8221; the company <a href="https://twitter.com/LOrealParisUK/status/903549805305241600" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tweeted</a> at the time.</p><p>Following Bergdorf&#8217;s comments on Monday, her fans quickly responded with support, sharing their disapproval in the comments of L&#8217;Oréal&#8217;s post.</p><p>&#8220;Well then I guess it&#8217;s about time you issued a long overdue public apology to Munroe Bergdorf AND compensated her for the trauma you caused. This is hollow unless you admit that you&#8217;ve used black women as props to show how many foundation shades you have but you certainly haven&#8217;t supported, stood in solidarity or spoken out for them before,&#8221; one person wrote.</p><p>L&#8217;Oréal Paris did not immediately respond to Page Six Style&#8217;s request for comment.</p>]]></content:encoded>
