Kim Kardashian Breaks Her Silence Regarding
Balenciaga’s Recent Failed Campaign
Kim Kardashian is breaking her silence on Balenciaga’s recent failed teddy bear campaign. The Balenciaga campaign featured photos of children cuddling teddy bears that were dressed in bondage. The campaign sparked an outrage on social media as people began accusing Balenciaga of sexualizing children in their campaign photos. People are also concerned about documents in the campaign seeming to be a court ruling about child pornography.
In response to the situation, the luxury brand Balenciaga took to their Instagram page announcing the removal of the campaign. Balenciaga also made another statement apologizing for the campaign, “we apologize for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign. We take this matter very seriously and we are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our spring 23 campaign photo shoot. We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form.” They finish by saying, “we stand for children safety and well-being.”
Despite the luxury brand apologizing, many people were still left with a salty taste in their mouth. A lot of people were also waiting to hear what Kim Kardashian had to say. She is the face of the luxury brand, and a mother of four. Although it has been a few days since the incident happened, she has finally decided take to social media sharing her thoughts.
You can read what she says in her tweets below:
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.

Finally Kim Kardashian tweets:
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.
