TikTokers Are Destroying Their Balenciaga Items, While Kim Kardashian Has Yet To Sever Ties With The Brand

Balenciaga’s Gift Shop campaign featured small children holding teddy bears in bondage gear. If you’ve been following the story, you know that that’s not all. In an even more shocking twist, the brand hid documents and books on virtual child porn, violent art, and more. Even the CEO of the company owned a site that sold "art" of child mannequins with erect penises on their faces. Despite all of this, Balenciaga ambassador Kim Kardashian has yet to part ways with them.

Kim’s net worth currently stands at $1.8 billion, according to Forbes – she doesn’t need Balenciaga. TikTokers, on the other hand, aren’t billionaires like the SKIMS founder. But they’re smart enough to cut ties with Balenciaga, even going as far as to destroy their luxury bags, shoes, and sweaters. Let’s take a look at what social media users are doing to protest the brand’s disturbing affinity toward child abuse and pedophilia.

Closing Thoughts 

After Balenciaga caused public outrage, they issued an apology and filed a lawsuit against North Six Inc. Just one week after filing, Balenciaga dropped the $25 million dollar lawsuit against the creative company. Some believe it’s because the minds behind the Gift Shop campaign were actually an inside job. Whatever the case, no action is being taken – celebrities are mostly silent, it seems there are no impending investigations within the company, and ambassadors continue to remain with Balenciaga.
