Brittany Aldean, the wife of country musician Jason Aldean, has cleared out her Balenciaga stash as a protest against the brand’s ad campaigns.
The mother of two, 33, shared a photo of herself holding transparent garbage bags loaded with Balenciaga items. The image caption said, “It’s garbage day.”
“Show em how to ‘walk the walk’ babe!” her husband said in the comments along with clapping hand emojis.
“Burning all mine to the ground!” follower Amanda Ensing shared.
Kim Zolciak-Biermann, a reality television personality, answered with many praising hands emojis. Several additional comments also expressed their support.
While Brittany is being praised for coming out against the fashion line, other celebrities face criticism for failing to do so. The firm made news for an ad campaign that featured young children cradling teddy bears while dressed in bondage gear.
“I have been quiet for the past few days, not because I haven’t been disgusted 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 Kardashian wrote in a statement shared on social media several days after the story broke.
“I appreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again,” the reality star continued. She claimed to be “re-evaluating” her relationship with the brand.
But fans said her response wasn’t strong enough. “Kim you don’t need the money from them. The red line has been crossed and as a mother of four and decent human being, you know that,” popular Twitter account Gays Against Groomers wrote.
Meanwhile, Balenciaga has made many apologies and launched a $25 million lawsuit against the production firm behind the advertisement.
