John Boyega has resigned as the global ambassador for perfume brand Jo Malone after he was replaced in an ad he made for them by a Chinese actor. The Star Wars actor made the personal video in his home city of London, but it was re-shot for the Chinese market. The company apologized for what it described as a “misstep” that caused “offence.”

However, Boyega has said Jo Malone was “wrong” to have used another actor “without my consent or prior notice.” Writing on Twitter, the British-Nigerian star said while he accepted that companies would use different representatives around the world, “dismissively trading out one’s culture this way is not something I can condone.”

Andrew Gillum, whose political career was marred by the scandal which involved him being found inebriated in a hotel room in March, has shared in an exclusive Monday interview with Tamron Hall that he is bisexual. The former Florida gubernatorial candidate made the statement about his sexual orientation while speaking with Hall about his political career and battle with alcoholism.

“You didn’t ask the question, you put it out there of whether I identify as gay. The answer is I don’t identify as gay, but I do identify as bisexual,” he said in the interview. “And that is something that I’ve never shared publicly before.”

The former Tallahassee mayor is a father of three and married to his wife R. Jai Gillum. He was the youngest Black person elected to office in Florida at age 23, and since then, has been considered one of the rising stars of the Democratic Party.
