Adidas Apologizes Over Bella Hadid Ads Commemorating Munich Olympics

As a passionate fan and supporter of Bella Hadid, I am deeply saddened by the recent controversy surrounding her involvement in Adidas’ Munich Olympics campaign. Bella, a proud Palestinian, has long used her platform to speak out against injustices inflicted upon the Palestinian people. Her activism is rooted in her deep connection to her heritage and personal experiences.


Adidas has issued an apology for a contentious marketing campaign involving Bella Hadid, which recognized the 1972 Munich Olympics.

I have always been passionate about fashion and its ability to bring people together, regardless of their backgrounds or stories. As a person who grew up hearing about the complexities of the Middle East conflict, I was deeply moved when I saw the latest campaign from this footwear brand.

An online protest ensued against Adidas following their campaign, with demands to stop buying from the German brand and criticism from Israel’s representative accounts. Eventually, the controversial ads were taken down from both social media platforms and their official website.

“We’re aware that our marketing campaign unintentionally linked to a tragic historical event, causing distress and apologies for any unintended upset. Consequently, we’re reworking the rest of the campaign.”

The company stated, “Sport brings people together globally, and we remain committed to promoting diversity and equal opportunities in all our actions.”

Born in the USA, Hadid identifies as Palestinian and is known for her advocacy: She frequently expresses her strong backing for the Palestinian community on social media.

A 27-year-old individual has frequently expressed opposition towards Israel’s prolonged military campaigns in Gaza, resulting in the death of over 38,000 Palestinians as reported by Gaza health authorities and NBC News.

Israel initiated military action following the fatal attack on 1,200 people and abduction of over 250 individuals by Hamas militants during a border infiltration from Gaza on October 7th, as reported by Israeli records.

There’s been no response from Hadid regarding the taken down advertisements. Our team at TopMob News attempted to contact her representative, but have yet to receive a reply.
