Canceled High-End Balenciaga Ad Includes Book by Painter Depicting Castrated Children – zoohousenews.com

(Natural News) High-end fashion company Balenciaga is in heat after a disgusting ad campaign that featured images of shackles and other filth involving children.

As reported by Breitbart News, an “ad campaign contained content suggestive of child abuse and pornography.”

The spring 2023 ad, which has since been canceled after heavy public backlash, starred French actress Isabelle Huppert. The ad featured a book by Belgian artist Michael Borremans, who creates paintings that often depict children, including some who have been neutered.

The outlet further noted:

Balenciaga has come under fire in recent weeks over other ads, many arguing are “normalizing child pornography” as they showed children with teddy bears in BDSM outfits. These ads also contain part of a US Supreme Court case citing another case involving speech protected by virtual child pornography.

The image that contained Borremans’ book was removed from the fashion house’s website after it came under fire for the “BDSM teddy bears” pics.

Some major US figures have also come under fire for their continued association with Balenciaga, including billionaire reality TV personality Kim Kardashian, who was slammed for it by former Fox News star Megyn Kelly on her SiriusXM podcast on Tuesday. The ad campaign also reportedly featured well-known pedophiles.

The “Megyn Kelly Show” host said Kardashian shared responsibility for the company’s shameful ads because, after learning about them, she refused to fully distance herself from the brand, which she has heavily promoted in the past.

“She’s a gross, shameful billionaire because she cares more about money than her morals and protecting these kids,” Kelly said.

Kelly then switched to the Balenciaga photoshoot for some of the ads, which featured little girls holding bears in bondage outfits, claiming that the ad campaign promotes the “sexualization of children” and “excites pedophiles.”

Kardashian said in response to the criticism that she is “reevaluating” her connection, but as of this writing, she has yet to officially sever ties with the company.

“I’ve been calm for the past few days, not because I wasn’t disgusted and outraged by Balenciaga’s recent campaigns, but because I wanted the opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened,” he said the reality star said in a statement published online.

“As a mother of four, I was shocked by the disturbing images. Child safety must be given the highest priority and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period,” she added.

“I appreciate Balenciaga’s campaign removal and apologies. By speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary actions to ensure this never happens again,” Kardasian noted.

“As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently reassessing my relationship with the brand and basing it on their willingness to take responsibility for something that should never have happened – and the actions I expect them to take to protect children,” said you.
