Lala Kent raise her voice against Balenciaga’s recent ad campaign which features BDSM teddy bears modeled by children. She also noticed there were copies of court documents pertaining to child pornography laws.
Lala Kent is not stopping and she will not keep quiet anymore. She is raising her strong voice against the brand Balenciaga over social media. The ad which Balenciaga posted via Instagram shows two girls holding bags made of plush bears with bondage gear.
Similarly, the documents about child pornography laws were visible to Lala. As soon as Lala saw the ad via Instagram, she posted a screenshot of the post and posed on her Instagram story. Kent didn’t waste time to aware people of Balenciaga’s bad actions.
Furthermore, on Wednesday, Lala Kent wrote,
“I’m sure I’ll be shadowbanned… again, for posting this- but I have to. I’m proud to not own one single piece of Balenciaga.”
Also, she added,
“We need to know what the document under the Balenciaga bag says. If you zoom in, it seems to state some horrifying words. Y’ll-we need to do better.”

Lastly, Kent concluded her statement by saying,
“Reject the darkness, find the light. The well-being of our world and its innocent beings depends on it”
Though the actual post was deleted by social media platforms by Balenciaga itself. Not only this, but the brand also posted a story apologizing to everyone and describing their intentions. In one picture, we can see a little girl who is wearing a T-shirt from the brand and is carrying a white bear with a strap. Likewise, the other picture shows a girl with a blue outfit and carrying a purple animal. It also looked as similar to the first one.
Many people saw Lala Kent’s post as well as others and commented on the picture as creepy, frightening, and wrong too. One Twitter user tweeted,
“I thought people were trolling, but nope. It’s real. Maybe this is why Balenciaga left Twitter. They don’t want to be held accountable. Yes, these are children holding teddy bears dressed in bondage outfits”

“Ew even if the rest is too conspiracy theory for the small-brained people out there, WHY would you have a child holding a teddy bear with bondage gear on???? So gross! F – – k Balenciaga”

Lala Kent also didn’t believe Balenciaga’s apology and she further claimed that they must take the whole responsibility. They are a bad influence on people according to Kent. However, Balenciaga went to Instagram and posted a story with an apology. The statement reads,
“We apologize for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign. We take this matter very seriously and are taking legal action against the parties responsible for creating the set and including unapproved items for our spring 23 campaign photoshoot.”
Lastly, they concluded by adding,
“We strongly condemn the abuse of children in any form. We stand for children safety and well-being”
Though, Lala reshares Balenciaga’s story and wrote,
“Yo, @balenciaga- YOU ARE THE PARTY RESPONSIBLE. A lot of these brands are used to us being sheep. ‘They’re stupid, they’ll never notice’. Guess what- we notice & we aren’t shutting up. We must protect these kids.”

On the other hand, the photographer Gabriele Galimberti says he was unknown of all this via Instagram. He also stated that he is getting hate messages for nothing as he is not responsible. According to him,
“I am not in a position to comment [on] Balenciaga’s choices, but I must stress that I was not entitled in whatsoever manner to neither choose the products, nor the models, nor the combination of the same.”

On Wednesday, Gabriele also added that the choice of displaying objects is not chosen by him. He further stated,
“That one was taken in another set by other people and was falsely associated with my photos.”
We do not know if Gabriele is talking the truth or making us a fool. But Lala Kent as a mother of a daughter raised her voice so action was taken and an apology was made.
