Abramovich partner sorry for ‘racist’ snap

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s partner apologised last night after she stirred up controversy after being photographed sitting on a chair designed to look like a half-naked black woman.

Dasha Zhukova, 32, who has two children with the Chelsea owner, was accused of promoting slavery and racism after an online magazine, Buro247.ru, published a photo of her perched on the artwork yesterday — Martin Luther King Day, an American holiday commemorating the slain civil rights leader.

The picture was used to illustrate an unrelated interview about the former model’s new magazine, Garage.
