It became known that Kim Kardashian has again become the ambassador of the fashion house Balenciaga. The reality star then faced criticism online: many of her fans felt such an action was inappropriate after the brand's infamous ad in which children posed with BDSM paraphernalia. Because of this, the brand was accused of promoting pedophilia.
"Of all the brands she chose the one that was accused of promoting pedophilia. Although she's not even surprised", "Money is all that matters to her", and "Where will she keep all the money and fame when she's gone?", users write.
Kardashian was also accused of hypocrisy: after the scandal surrounding the brand, she spoke out and said that she was outraged and condemned such advertising. "But now that she knows it's safe for her business, she's decided to come back," users note.
Kim Kardashian collaborated with the brand for a long time before the fashion house found itself at the center of a major scandal in 2022. In addition to children with BDSM paraphernalia, the photo also contained a court document justifying child pornography. According to Balenciaga, the props were not approved and were placed by the production company without the brand's knowledge. After the scandal, the brand Balenciaga and its creative director Demna Gvasalia issued a public apology. Because of the scandal, Kardashian changed her image and avoided Balenciaga clothes for a while. /BGNES
