Balenciaga’s latest drama for its “child abuse” ad seems to only be picking up steam despite the brand’s best efforts to please consumers. As previously reported the ad featured children holding teddy bears seemingly dressed in bondage gear and eagle-eyed viewers spotted court documents from the US Supreme Court decision on “virtual child porn” laws photographed in the campaign. Balenciaga has also filed a $25M lawsuit against North Six Inc. and the set designer Nicholas Des Jardin.
Kim Kardashian has been one of the biggest supporters and collaborators of the brand, and after days of silence and raised eyebrows from fans, the reality star is speaking out.
Kim Kardashian Issues Statement on Balenciaga’s Latest Ad Controversy, Say’s She’s Reevaluating Her Relationship With The Fashion House
Kim Kardashian who is the mother to four of the most famous children in pop culture, broke her silence and admitted that she had to take time before speaking.
“As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,” wrote Kardashian. “The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society —-period.”
She added that she appreciated Balenciaga’s apology but is still re-evaluating her relationship with the brand. It sounds as though Kim wants to see how Balenciaga will move forward and if accountability will be taken.
As you can imagine, her decision to not immediately cut ties with Balenciaga is getting her dragged.
