    “Pathetic”: Kim K, Kamala Harris’ Stepdaughter Savaged for Silence on Balenciaga Scandal

    The fashion brand Balenciaga recently released an advertising campaign that drew outrage online because of the imagery in it, particularly children in creepy settings holding teddy bears wearing BDSM outfits, the inclusion of a printout of a Supreme Court case about child pornography, and an item with “Baal” written on it.

    Numerous high-profile figures, particularly Kim Kardashian, were skewered at the time for their working with the brand and the public clamored for them to drop that association and condemn the campaign. Kardashian finally did so days later, saying:

    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.

    As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images. 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.

    I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again.

    As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.

    Daily Wire host Candace Owens ripped her for that response, saying: “I publicly asked Kim Kardashian to condemn Balenciaga for their pedophilic ad campaign thinking it would be easy for her to condemn child porn. Unfortunately, I was wrong. It took her 6 days to issue a pathetic statement in which she failed to part ways with the brand.“

    Kardashian isn’t the only one associated with the brand to avoid rebuking it strongly and cutting ties. Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter refused to even comment on the issue, with the Washington Free Beacon tweeting out that “Balenciaga model Ella Emhoff, who is Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter, has stayed silent on the fashion brand’s ad campaign that featured young children holding teddy bears dressed in leather bondage gear. “
    The WFB added that Michelle Obama hasn’t commented on the scandal either despite being associated with the brand, saying “many celebs with ties to the controversial fashion brand have refused to comment on the scandal. That includes former first lady Michelle Obama, who was widely praised for wearing $4,000 Balenciaga “thigh-high glitter boots” in 2018.“
    So at least Kim Kardashian called it out and said something about the brand, unlike Michelle Obama or Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter.
