Kim Kardashian, who has been working as a brand ambassador for Balenciaga, expressed her anger at a recent campaign in which the brand featured children holding teddy bears dressed in BDMS style. Fans continuously pressured KimK for expressing her thoughts in this embarrassing campaign.
On Saturday night, Kardashian broke her silence via her Instagram stories saying:
“I’ve been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted and outraged by Balenciaga’s recent campaigns, but because I wanted the opportunity to speak to his team to understand for myself how this could have happened.”

The famous American socialite finally decided to speak out against this disturbing ad campaign and posted a series of tweets showing strong dislike for the campaign’s content. Finally, the brand decided to cancel the campaign and removed all the photos from the official Instagram account.
“We apologize for showing disturbing documents in our campaign. We strongly condemn child abuse in any form. We stand up for the safety and well-being of children,the company said in a statement.
The announcement was related to the promotion of the site’s Christmas gift shop.
