L'Oreal model resigns from Labour party LGBT+ board following 'relentless online abuse'

[Boiler 46,059]

In a series of Twitter posts last week, Bergdorf said: "On gay male Conservatives, whereas the language that I used was strong and perhaps I wouldn't use that turn of phrase now.

 

"I do continue to be confused by how somebody who identifies as a gay male can actively support a political party such as the Conservatives."

She also claimed the initial conditions placed on female enfranchisement "stood in the way of working-class women and largely women of colour".

Bergdorf's role as part of a group advising Ms Butler was unpaid and the panel itself is not managed by Labour.

The model made headlines last year after she called on people to boycott L’Oreal after being sacked over a Facebook post she wrote in response to the killing of an anti-racism demonstrator at a white supremacist protest in Charlottesville, US.

 

The model wrote: “Honestly I don’t have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people.

 

“Because most of ya’ll don’t even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour.

“Your entire existence is drenched in racism. From micro-aggressions to terrorism, you guys built the blueprint for this s***.

Now I can add some new words to my resume:  Racaist, violent, inherited racism, most violent and oppressive force of nature on earth.  Not sure I deserve to live thru the end of the week...

It is a tricky one.
