Kim Kardashian 'Shaken' by Balenciaga's Holiday Campaign That Allegedly Sexualises Children, Calls Images 'Disturbing'
Balenciaga recently found itself in hot water when in their latest ad-campaign they showcased children holding bags with bears on them that were dressed up in bondage-wear. Facing backlash, the brand took down the ads immediately.
Kim Kardashian has broken her silence on Balenciaga's latest controversy. In a long Twitter thread, Kardashian spoke about how "shaken" she was with the latest ad campaign by the fashion brand, and called the images disturbing. The star also went on to claim that she while she appreciated the apology, she will be re-evaluating her relationship with the brand.

I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened.

As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images. 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.

I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again.

As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.
