Description:
NOTE: Dior Sauvage reverted to the older campaign imagery despite having a newer 'campfire' commercial. 30 second and 1 minute 12 second spots of the ‘desert drive’ 2015 footage were created that ran globally on TV and social media supported everywhere by posters, billboards, adshels and instore displays throughout the final 3 months of 2020.'IT'S DISGUSTING' Abuse survivor’s fury as wife beater Johnny Depp’s Dior ad is still on TV
By Chris Pollard
AN abuse survivor is furious Johnny Depp’s Dior ad is still running on TV despite him losing his wife-beater case.
The commercial for Sauvage aftershave features the actor playing a guitar then burying jewellery in the desert.
It was screened during Channel 4’s Great British Bake Off semi-final.
But Jo Mason, who last year had an eye socket shattered by bullying boyfriend Luke Patrice, 32, said: “What example is it setting allowing Depp to be on TV?”
Jo, 33, from West Yorks, added: “Abusers will see this and think, ‘If he can get away with it, so can I’.
"It glamorises that behaviour. It’s disgusting.”
Pirates Of The Caribbean star Depp, 57, lost a libel case with The Sun after we called him a wife beater for assaulting ex-wife Amber Heard.
Dior has been contacted for a comment.
