Cosmetics house Revlon and Bonang Matheba's publicist have issued conflicting statements on the media personality's global ambassadorship.

Matheba announced she would be joining the likes of Halle Berry and Emma Watson as the international faces of Revlon.

But it seems the announcement may have been premature as Michelle Stevens, Revlon SA spokesman denied this, saying there were no plans to take Matheba's brand international. Instead Matheba would remain the face of Revlon SA, Stevens stated.

Pumza Nohashe, who represents Matheba, told The Citizen that Matheba's new contract 'expressly provided for' and indicated she would be a global ambassador.

"Ms Matheba recently travelled to the US on her private PR exercise, which involved a photo shoot, with New York based creatives. It is from this personal PR shoot that REVLON SA chose an image to use for their upcoming in-store Colorstay promotion, due to launch on April 4, 2016. This together with contractual indicators, expressly provide for her global ambassadorship.”

Matheba has since removed the social media posts from her page. Last year, Matheba was forced to retract a statement she issued on her social media accounts that her Woolworths Distraction range would be launched in Australia.
