Kardashian ‘outraged’ by ad

Balenciaga ambassador Kim Kardashian is speaking out after the luxury fashion house was embroiled in controversy for its recent holiday campaign.

The campaign drew backlash for referencing child pornography and featuring child models alongside fetish imagery.

In a statement, the reality TV star said she is currently reevaluating her professional relationship with Balenciaga.

“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,” Kardashian wrote. “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.”
