Amy Adams, one of the hottest actresses today, broke her silence on the issue of Valentino using Philip Seymour Hoffman's funeral as a P. R. opportunity.
Hottie Amy Adams was just one of many celebrities who paid tribute to the actor at his funeral in New York City on Friday, Feb. 7.
However, a few hours after Adams attended the service, she was singled out in a press release for carrying one of Valentino's luxury bags.
"We are pleased to announce Amy Adams carrying the Valentino Garavany [sic] Rockstud Duble [sic] bag from the Spring/Summer 2014 collection on Feb. 6 in New York," wrote Upasna Khosla, a Valentino rep who published the press released in The New York Post.
Valentino came under fire for using Hoffman's funeral as an opportunity to market one of its purses, which retails for US$3,275.
"We sincerely regret releasing a photo to the media of Amy Adams with a Valentino Bag. We were not aware the photograph was taken while she was attending the wake of Philip Seymour Hoffman," said Mona Swanson, vice-president of communications for Valentino USA in a press release.
"It was an innocent mistake and we apologize to Ms. Adams who was not aware, or a part of, our P.R. efforts."
A rep for Amy Adams clarified that she "is not a paid spokesperson for Valentino, and the suggestion she would use this moment to participate in a promotion is truly appalling."
