In the light of the recent event of racist sentiments that has been brought by Ms Samantha Kathy, the whole team of Velvet Vanity would like to clarify that we don't endorse this kind of discriminatory behaviour. As a brand, since the beginning of our journey we are very dedicated to cater to everyone albeit their skin colours so for us to support her wrongdoings would be contradictory with our brand name. The post was made way before this case and we are not affiliated with her anymore. As a brand, we support #blacklivesmatter and we would never associate ourselves with racists in any way.

该公司指出自从开业以来,致力于不分肤色迎合每个人,而莎曼达凯蒂的不当言论,与公司的品牌宗旨有着冲突。

“在她发出这种言论之后,以她当模特来宣传我们家产品的的帖文,都已经全部删除,我们不再与她有任何关系。”

该公司也在声明中强调:“作为一个美妆品牌,我们支持#blacklivesmatter,我们绝不会以任何方式,将自己与种族主义行为联系在一起。”
