Model Kelly Gray and actress Angelina Jolie were fired by clothing company St. Johns. Kelly Gray is the daughter of the brand's founders Robert and Marie Gray. Angelina Jolie has been featured in ads for the company since 2005.
St. John’s CEO Glenn McMahon claims the decision to fire Angelina Jolie and Kelly Gray was made because the company believes the she “overshadowed the brand,” Women’s Wear Daily reports.
“We wanted to make a clean break from actresses and steer away from blondes and cleanse the palette,” McMahon said.
The new model for the company will be Karen Elson, the wife of musician Jack White of the White Stripes.
McMahon went on to say "We needed to show a modern point of view of St. John. We have evolved."
