You know how this stuff works with companies that rely on image to generate consumer revenue. The fact they gave her the job in the first place speaks volumes for them.
She f-cked up and they did the right
PR thing considering the current racial climate. Her coming out after the fact trying to "wipe up spilt milk" is too little to late.
I'm 100% sure that if one of their white models went public with a statement condeming BLM or the counter protesters in Charlottesville, she'd be let go too.
Right now this country is a powder keg of racial divide. L'Oreal did what they had to do under the circumstances. They are a publically traded company afterall.
