Khloe Kardashian criticized for silence on Balenciaga campaign scandal

Khloé Kardashian’s recent social media activity hasn’t gone down well with her devoted fans.

The luxury fashion house was heavily criticised last week for an campaign that featured children holding teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear. Other images showed documents displaying the US Supreme Court’s ruling on child pornography laws.

While her sister Kim Kardashian has announced she is “reevaluating” her relationship with Balenciaga following the controversial campaign, Khloé has yet to speak out about the scandal.

The reality TV star has shared several posts on Instagram in recent days, but fans are upset because the majority of them are paid advertisements.

The Good American founder, 38, shared a video of herself and her friend Malika Haqq having “so much fun” playing a new interactive video game on Sunday, days after the fashion house scandal broke. The caption revealed that she was paid for the post.

“She’s lying, she just wanted the check,” one commenter replied, while another retorted, “I guess you have no problem with child sexual exploitation as long as the Kardashians are making money.”

Balenciaga blamed the drama on the production company associated with the campaign and filed a $25 million (£20.8 million) lawsuit against them after they removed the images from the internet.

On November 28, the brand released a new statement apologizing for “a series of serious errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility.”
