Kylie Jenner on Claim She Tried to Pivot Attention From Balenciaga Scandal

Kylie Jenner has responded to a TikTok user who suggested that she posted photos of her kids in an attempt to distract people from the recent Balenciaga scandal. 

The makeup mogul shared photos of her 4-year-old daughter Stormi and 9-month-old son to Instagram on Monday. In response, a TikTok creator made a video in which they theorized that momager Kris Jenner instructed her kids “to release the good photos after the Balenciaga scandal.”

In the comments section, Kylie clapped back, writing, “Uh, whyyyyy would I post my child to cover up for Balenciaga? This is why I don’t do this. Always something to say.”

Kylie’s response comes shortly after her sister Kim Kardashian broke her silence on Balenciaga’s controversial campaign. The aforementioned photo shoot featured children holding teddy bears that appear to be in bondage gear. The SKIMS founder, who has worked with Balenciaga on several occasions, said she would reconsider her relationship with the brand amid the scandal. 

“I have been quiet the past few days, not because I haven’t been shocked and outraged by the recent Balenciaga campaigns, but because I wanted an opportunity to speak to their team to understand for myself how this could have happened,” Kim shared in a statement on Nov. 27. “As a mother of four, I have been shaken by those disturbing images.”
