Last week, the

Balenciaga

fashion house found itself at

the center of a scandal

over its ad campaign, which featured children with bear bags in BDSM clothing, as well as highly controversial literature appearing in the frame.

Balenciaga was bombarded with angry messages on social media, accusing it of sexualizing children and even justifying child pornography and pedophilia.

For several days, one of the main ambassadors of the Balenciaga brand, the reality show star

Kim Kardashian

, was silent, but in the end, after public outrage, she decided to make a statement.

Kim explained her pause by the fact that she first wanted to talk to the team.

"I have been silent for the past few days, not because I wasn't disgusted or shocked by what I saw, but because I wanted to talk to the team to understand how this could have happened. As a mother of four, I was shocked by this disturbing footage. To the children and their safety should be treated with the utmost respect. Any attempt to normalize child abuse has no place in our society - period," Kardashian said.

I have to be pleasant for the past few days, not because I had to be irritated and angry before the last Balenciaga campaigns, but because I have the opportunity to use my group to understand for myslf how thou could happen.

"As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently reviewing my relationship with the brand based on their willingness to take responsibility for something that should never have happened in the first place and the actions I expect to see them take to protect children," she added, commenting on her upcoming collaboration with Balenciaga.

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 happened to begin with - & the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children .

"I appreciate Balenciaga's removal of the ad campaigns and apology. After speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary steps to ensure this never happens again," Kim wrote.

I appreciate Balenciaga's removal of campaigns and apology.

In a conversation with him, I can make them subject to serious questions and will take the necessary measures for this, so as not to rush.
