The luxury fashion brand rolled out the shocking ads for its spring 2023 collection. The photos depicted children gripping teddy bears clad in S&M gear, and quickly started going viral. Almost immediately, people responded with outrage on social media, demanding a boycott of the company.
Balenciaga executives quickly pulled all the ads Tuesday and issued an apology. Their statement read,"We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms."
The execs went on to say they plan to take legal action against the creators of the ads, which they claim were"unapproved." They added,"We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children’s safety and well-being.” the brand "Balenciaga" just did a uh..... interesting... photoshoot for their new products recently which included a very purposely poorly hidden court document about 'virtual child porn'
You are surely slow to report on child grooming. Shame on you tmz for the puff peice. What's your stake in this hu? Call them out!
What the actual hell 😳
that’s not even what was being advertised for. the real reason behind it is much worse. just say that.
These celebrities are nothing without us, if you believe p3dophila is wrong, want justice for these poor children, take a stand and unfollow. istandforthechildren
KimKardashian is a selective advocate, only does it for the attention, whatever fits her agenda. “mom, if I say anything they will cancel me, f the principles! I’m rich and have a lot of lawyers! I made us, now fix this!!”
Why 🤷♂️
Who even put this on the table as an idea and what people agreed to this How was no one like 🙋🏻♀️umm hay maybe no we shouldn’t do this…. Wow just wow
It's sick and only hollyweird would support this
Balenciaga wanted the woke badge so it left Twitter then shot itself on the head releasing bizarre new campaigns with hints of Child abuse & Domestic abuse. It also moved the Triple S manufacturing from Italy to China & not tell customers who are buying them at the same price.
Not even close. People have lost their ever loving minds 🤣🤣🤣
It's sick, and backlash is a gross understatement of what it's receiving, don't be confused by how bad this brand should be canceled completely
Give this news the same relevance y’all gave to Kanye West’s ones. Thanks doublestandards
This is like the 3rd or 4th time y’all posting this story. We saw it already! Go find something else to report on
Yeah they tryna push that pedo agenda on us they tested it out to see how our reactions would be and it wasn’t good
As they should !! That’s just wrong
They tripping. This is why people be saying the elite are grooming kids.
How many kids have parents that can afford Balenciaga? And how many parents want their kids exposed to BDSM?
KimKardashian you ok with this?!?
Your indifference is deafening. Kanye is more vilified by the likes of you than child exploitation. Examine your moral compass. Us with souls have a righteous indignation you have no chance to contend. When did standing for the right thing become something you fear? Balenciaga
please do us a favour and ask Kimberley that is she going to cut ties with balenciaga after their blunder
THIS IS HOW YOU REPORT IT?! Where is your outrage? Why don’t you name and shame the people behind this or are you protecting them like you protected Weinstein and the other Hollywood pedophiles
There’s pushing the envelope and then there’s this. I have a hard time believing all the celebrities weren’t aware of their leanings. There’s an evil sickness afoot.
It got a reaction and I’m pretty sure that was the goal. Don’t want them to do it again? Stop talking about it or shut up
Ye was right
Balenciaga fell off when Yeezy left
Yah, apparently their catering company approved the ad so nobody higher up is responsible. So sorry 😏
Ye was right. God save this man, I'll vote for him in 2024 🙏
So are they going to get cancelled too .. Or what ...?🤔
That's what they want. To bring attention to them.
She dnt want to loose endorsement lol
And him too
She's the face of Balenciaga. Don't try and use your bla*k card ( them kids) not going to work.
ppl overthinking again.
Adidas too
Disgusting. I won’t look at that brand the same ever again and all those celebrity supporters
Kim’s into it. She’s a satanic witch after all. Good friends with Marina Abramovic. Look her up. Lots of blood, guts and generally gross dark stuff.
Wtf?!? 🤦🏾♂️ damn I’m bear-y disappointed I made this joke 😂 Seriously what were they thinking? Who idea was this?
Lol balenciaga ? Is luxury Lol It’s for wannabes and youtoubers ! That brand sucks
Wow. TMZ calling out Kim Kardashian ? I guess being connected to child porn has her biggest supporter scurrying. rats
Kim and other “vip” are just simple marionettes
Yes where the Kardashian clan at
“Gotcha”
KimKardashian come on girl !
Y’all probably groomers too…
The brand that quit Twitter after Elon said Twitters 1 priority are working on removing the child sexual exploration content that is on Twitter that the fired employees didn’t care about. They were busy working 6 hours a week, doing yoga and drinking tap wine on the rooftop🤔.
my 3 year old will wear Uniqlo... practical and child friendly. Not to mention, fun
Lol it's not that bad
Ahhh the lovely high horse rides again. Gidddy up Mofo.
Money is the root of all evil
How are the Kardashians responsible for this? This is all on Balenciaga.
reputation? lmao.
TMZ selling Kardashian... no loyalty to the royal fam
damn i’ve been out of the loop huh? can someone be so kind as to explain wtf is going on lol
FINALLY
Kim is all show
Not one celeb was seen on TV or the media saying anything to this company. Because they all support it.
Let children be safe to enjoy their childhood w/o indoctrination No More Pimping
SHE POST ON TICTOX WITH NORTH THAT SHE DONT CARE PEOPLE,. STAY ON HER NECK
🤣🤣🤣 Now that y'all (TMZ) called her out she's goin 2 respond now cause she advertise 4 them,but she only responds 2 shyt that gives her the spot light!!!!
Who hack tmz
Judging from the photo, I’m convinced nothing is off the table. Yet, Kardashian said she was more pure than Kanye when he invited Charles Marilyn Manson&Chris Rock to an event..though she seemed to later recant the sentiment ..anyway..they have your attention so products selling.
Idk why y’all think Kim cares, or any other celebrity for that matter.
She won’t… KKlan never refused a check 💸
She doesn’t care about using children for profits
Time is running out ⏰ CancelKimKardashian
She'll never speak out against her favorite clothing designer & a company that pays her so much.
Shame on Balenciaga. They lay down one of the child on a sofa sick people plus BDSM teddy bear 😡 Balenciagapedo BoycottBalenciaga BalenciagaGroomers Balenciagacampaign
Lol now y’all want to question Kim?😂😂😂
what about these children's MOTHERS, WHATS WRONG WITH THEM?
Wtf is KimKardashian gonna say? She puts makeup on her 3 year old and then shares with every sick fuq is the universe/ the family business
Kim doesn't run Balenciaga
Publicity yo yo to sell teddy bears
The kardashians family are the most disgusting family in the fucking world
would be interesting to hear from the parents of these children
Yea KimKardashian we’re waiting 🤔…unless you support this sick exploitation. Would you allow YOUR daughters to participate in these disgusting “ads”?
Leave KimKardashian out of this she can comment of everything around the world. She is spending time with her kids and family.
I don’t know what’s worse…parents buying this for their kids?…or sending them to Ye’s private school?…or pushing religion on them? 🫠
sick groomers
Someone looked at the dates someone wrote on a wall behind a kid in one of these ads and the dates all corresponded with someone getting child sexual assault or porn charges 😬
But they had all the energy for Ye and Kyrie 🤔
I’d literally die of shock if she made a powerful/meaningful response. Then again, nothing she could say would be enough.
Maybe King_Staccz isn’t that crazy after all
Blame Kim
What am I missing? Why aren’t these “influencers” speaking out immediately?!? This isn’t an accusation, this is a moral outrage. The silence is deafening.
Is TMZ not mentioning the documents in the photos about the supreme Court decision.. hilarious that even this is an attempt to downplay how bad it really is
You should do your jobs as journalists and get to the bottom of this
something must be 'done' about those people.
Shouldn’t be cancelled too?
Y'all we're irate about Kyrie and Kanye, yet this hardly gets a mention. Very telling, those that know, know.
FortniteGame supports the brand too but nobody seems to care about them .
So not one person on the entire marketing team thought it was inappropriate? The person in charge of this marketing campaign must have been disliked by a lot of people... I refuse to believe that everyone thought it was ok....I know someone got fired because of it smh
lol
As they should
Disgusting 😡
It's disturbing! Boycott!!!
How the parents allowed their kids to be in this type of photoshoot is beyond me! What? Do they just hand their kids off to photographers & say have fun? 👀
mynewsknockout WTF?!?
Don’t be shy, show the other photos that are much worse. Show the public all the findings.
Finally tmz posting it
KimKardashianSupportsPedophilia Balenciaga
Yes. All brands let ads get published without approval on their account. How are they going to sue themselves?
Groomers
Backlash! Didn't you see the 'legal documents' they placed in the ad? Its fcking creepy
Any celeb involvement gets swept under the carpet. Media strong.
What do you expect after electing a child molestor for president who put a pedo sympathizer on the Supreme Court?
In one of the shoots they had a Supreme Court case involving a ruling on Child porn on the table as an “Easter egg”
A bondage bear with a black eye too. These people are sick puppies.
Teacher, question. Is this what we call grooming?
What are they thinking... Where were the parants that work at Balenciaga... Does common sense and allowing children to just be children still factor in?
You forgot the pictures of the the court case rulings that were on the table. Or the pedo that was in the picture frame behind the black guy …
The least shocking thing you’ll see today.
But… they aren’t trying to groom kids, they insist.
KimKardashian is staying quiet because she doesn’t give a F. Pretty vile considering she is a mother but everyone knows money & fame is what matters most to her. Hell, I’m surprised her kids weren’t in the ad. KrisJenner is slacking on the pimping.
Fans want Bella Hadid to get out BALENCIAGA harm her career plus DUMP that Fugly DOWNGRADE Marc from that 'Community' who hates POC and shut them up but USE them to sell his (IG stillkellystillkelly) FLOP Hoodies. MohamedAHadid YolandaHadid alanahadid jessejostark
Worst fashion ever
You left out the part where they had a child posing w empty liquor bottles passed out w pages of a Supreme Court case on pedos.
About time TMZ.
Dirtbags
Mad how many stories they quickly posted after this to push this down the feed... we see you 👀
TuckerCarlson did this story days ago. What took you so long to report this disgusting stuff? Sad you had to get clearance to finally report
The fact that they intentionally released this is what gets me. How many layers they went through and nobody protested this!! It is insane!
Why did you leave out the child porn papers in the other ad? HarveyLevinTMZ This why conspiracy theorists think something is up! Why are you dressing down this story?
Keep that same energy y’all had to YE & Kyrie x 1000….this is far worst.
They dropped kanye now its their turn. Why is KIM silent. Doesn't she stand with the CHILDREN COMMUNITY?
its about time that these so called celebrities show their commitments & cut ties with balenciaga! KimKardashian bellahadid nicolekidman ....
As they should be
Now we know where RepMattGaetz will be shopping this Christmas
You’re apart of the problem too TMZ…..you all work for the devil
Seriously didn’t think you guys were capable of reporting stuff that goes against the elite narrative 🤯
KimKardashian When are you going to respond since you are one of there spokespeople? Did you support pedophilia?
