“I’m disgusted”: Kim Kardashian on the Balenciaga scandal – Fashion and Beauty

Ambassador Kim Kardashian has now broken her silence after Balenciaga’s disturbing images of children wearing BDSM teddies.

A Balenciaga campaign is currently causing a real scandal: The luxury brand showed pictures of children with BDSM teddy bears to promote items from the Objects line. After a worldwide outcry and harsh criticism, the French fashion house removed the images and apologized, but shifts the blame away.

In the meantime, numerous people have decided to boycott the label. Now the Spanish fashion house’s ambassador, Kim Kardashian, talks about the campaign images. “I’ve been silent for the past few days. Not because I didn’t feel disgusted and outraged by Balenciaga’s recent campaign, but because I wanted the opportunity to speak to the team. I wanted to understand for myself how it happened could,” writes the 42-year-old in her Instagram story on Monday.

“Wanted to understand how it could have happened.”

“As a mother of four, I was disgusted and shocked by the images,” the entrepreneur said. Kardashian said child safety must come first and child abuse must not be normalized in any way. She welcomes the fact that the label has since removed the campaign and apologized. “After speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the situation and will take the necessary measures to ensure that something like this never happens again.”

Kim reconsiders her relationship with Balenciaga

Kim Kardashian has been the official face of Balenciaga since February this year. But even before that, the 42-year-old had a close relationship with the French fashion house. In September last year, the reality star turned heads by appearing in a head-to-toe Balenciaga bondage look the day before the Met Gala. Kim’s subsequent Met Gala look created a pop culture moment when she showed up in a black Balenciaga morphsuit. Now many are wondering how things will continue with Kim and the French fashion brand.

“As for my future with Balenciaga, I’m in the process of reassessing my relationship with the brand,” Kardashian shared on Instagram. For her, it now depends on whether Balenciaga shows willingness to take responsibility for something “that shouldn’t have happened in the first place”. It’s not just about the label becoming aware of its responsibility, but also about “measures that I expect from you to protect children”.

Meanwhile, much of the internet community is demanding that Kim Kardashian end all ties with Balenciaga. “Just stop modeling for their campaigns and wearing their clothes. For once you can show people that you really have morals and a backbone,” wrote a user on Twitter.

“Kim, these brands would dump you in a second without hesitation if you ever had a scandal. Do the same to them, you’ll feel better afterwards,” others encourage the entrepreneur.
