Selena Gomez deletes pictures of her wearing controversial brand after fans slam her

The American singer was slammed for posting pictures of wearing the fashion brand that had faced flak for an ad campaign showing children and bondage products.

Selena Gomez at one point in time had the highest Instagram followers in the world, dethroned by footballers Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The singer still has over 421 million followers on Instagram, making her the third most influential celebrity in the world, according to social media.

Therefore, whatever Selena Gomez posts on the social networking platform is immediately noticed. The Calm Down singer was recently slammed on social media for wearing a controversial clothing brand.

As a result, Selena Gomez immediately removed her pictures from Instagram by deleting her post, say reports.


What brand was Selena Gomez wearing when she was trolled for it?

Selena Gomez was wearing a Balenciaga turtle neck with blue jeans in her Instagram post. She has been spotted with the same top and black leather pants on another occasion. Her pictures with the same turtle neck are everywhere on Google, and it will be difficult for people to forget it.

Why is Balenciaga controversial?


Balenciaga has faced controversy for its ad showing children. In November 2022, the fashion brand released its holiday ad campaign, which showed kids holding Teddy bears but in bondage harnesses and costumes. The same accessories were also on the runway at Balenciaga's show at Paris Fashion Week.

However, showing such accessories with children is what caused the controversy. Netizens called for a boycott of Balenciaga for an ad campaign that could encourage child sexual abuse.

Balenciaga blamed the agency. But it landed in a soup again for a campaign for Balenciaga X Adidas, where again its products were placed on sheets of paper talking about whether sexualising children is right or wrong.

Fans feel Selena Gomez did the right thing by removing the pictures from her personal social media page.
