Balenciaga files lawsuit against ad agency over child pornography campaign

Balenciaga is seriously facing some heat following two controversial campaigns– one featuring children and teddy bears in bondage gear and another ad that featured an excerpt from a Supreme Court ruling involving child pornography.  The brand is trying to cover its tracks by suing the production company hired for the latter campaign.

The images of the children were previously removed, and in a statement Monday, the brand said,  “We strongly condemn child abuse.”

It continued, “It was never our intent to include it in our narrative. The two separate ad campaigns in question reflect a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility.”
