THEY SAID WHAT? THE STARS’ BEST QUOTES

-

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. 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.” – Kim Kardashian about fashion brand Balenciaga’s holiday campaign, which drew backlash for featuring child models alongside fetish imagery. Balenciaga apologized and pulled the campaign last week.
