Instagram model Monica, Kim Kardashian and supermodel Bella Hadid are among the celebrities catching heat for not cutting ties with Balenciaga.

Monica, a mom-of-three, often models Balanciaga logo apparel on her popular Instagram page. She was under fire on Wednesday for not cutting ties with the fashion house over their creepy ad campaign featuring minor children.

Monica, who has 12.4 million followers on Instagram, is still seen wearing Balenciaga outfits on her page.

Her followers complained that their comments about Balenciaga are being removed by her stylist.

One of her followers wrote:

“Monica your stylist weird for blocking and deleting comments of anybody awaring [sic] him about Balenciaga. Nobody coming disrespectful just awaring him. His work is nice but blocking and deleting is giving he trying to set you up.”

Another Instagram user wrote: “I sure hope you planning on canceling this brand.”

While a third person wrote: “Please stop wearing this fashion designer brand it’s detrimental to our race as a whole.”

Balenciaga scrubbed the company’s official Instagram and Twitter pages. But the campaign images were downloaded by outraged social media users.

Sharp-eyed Twitter users noticed one of the images from the Balenciaga campaign included a poorly hidden court document about “virtual child porn.”

Another image showed a fashion model sitting with her feet on a desk where a book contains graphic images of nude children covered in blood and and playing with severed body parts.

Another image featured a man named John Phillip Fisher who was allegedly convicted of molesting his four-year-old granddaughter.

Balenciaga issued an apology on its Instagram page.

“We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms.”

Balenciaga said it is taking legal action against the parties responsible for including “unapproved items” in the photo shoot:

“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. We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children’s safety and well-being.”

The ads promoted Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection, which debuted this fall at Paris Fashion Week.

Balenciaga is currently owned by the French corporation Kering. The chief creative designer is Demna Gvasalia who acted as the creative director for Ye West‘s Donda album listening event at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta over the summer.

Demna is also the co-founder of Vetements clothing line.

The backlash that began on social media has not ended with the withdrawal of the ad campaign.
