Ghanian actress, Nadia Buari, reportedly rejected an endorsement deal worth 75,000 USD from Avant Claire Grande because they dealt with bleaching products. However, Avant Claire Grande Afrique, GM Christopher Owen has come out to dispel the rumors, noting it was a matter of money, not morals. More on the click.
In a press release from Buari’s camp, the actress was said to reject the deal from Avante Grande because she was against bleaching and couldn’t support a skin bleaching product. HOWEVER, General Manager of Avant Claire Grande Afrique, Christopher Owen says nope. That’s not really what happened.
From PeaceFMOnline:
According to the initial report the actress reportedly called off the signing at a board meeting in Paris after discovering the Claire product contained compounds of hydroquinone (a chemical used for skin whitening and bleaching).
The story was contained in a press statement released by Nadia’s PR but according to manager for the company, the award-winning actress did not reject the offer because it was a bleaching product but she rather wanted $75,000 instead of the $60,000 they were willing to offer her as a brand ambassador.
General Manager of Avant Claire Grande Afrique, Christopher Owen has come out to demystify rumors concerning the $75,000 endorsement deal rejected by Nadia Buari as speculated in reports.
Chris told ‘The Juice Report’ his company offered the actress they chose out of many a total sum of $60,000 which she turned down after Avant declined a $15,000 raise she and her management requested for during negotiations, he added that Nadia’s retreat had nothing to do with the said bleaching chemicals.
Hmm..seems like a case of he said, she said. Clearly someone is lying…who do you think it is?
