In a matter of days,USA transgender model Munroe Bergdorf went from posting her excitement after being hired by makeup brand L'Oreal Paris to calling for a boycott of the company.
SEE ALSO: The dissonance between Vogue and Teen Vogue is finally too loud to ignoreEarly Friday, the UK division of the company announced its partnership with the London model was ending after she posted a comment on Facebook that started with, "'Honestly I don't have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. Yes ALL white people."
The post has since been deleted.

Bergdorf fired back that her words about the white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville last month were taken out of context and that the company didn't want her talking about systemic racism. She said she was "disappointed with the company" and wrote a massive post about the irony of being on a beauty campaign that "stands for diversity" and then getting fired for talking about white privilege.
We reached out to L'Oreal UK for further comment beyond their Twitter statement.
Bergdorf directly addressed the controversial statement that appears to have led to her firing. "When I stated that 'all white people are racist', I was addressing that fact that western society as a whole, is a SYSTEM rooted in white supremacy - designed to benefit, prioritise and protect white people before anyone of any other race. Unknowingly, white people are SOCIALISED to be racist from birth onwards. It is not something genetic. No one is born racist," she wrote on Facebook.
Others called out the company for what many felt was too quick of a firing.
