The luxury retailer has been under fire in recent weeks following backlash over two separate ad campaigns. One of the ads for their holiday campaign featured children holding teddy bear handbags in leather bondage gear, while the other office-inspired ad included a reference to a Supreme Court case on child pornography.

Balenciaga has since issued two apologies.

On Monday, Greene—United States representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district—spoke out about the controversy.

“Balenciaga is a brand that most Americans can’t pronounce, can’t afford, and never heard of until they got exposed for being just another celeb’s sick pedo promoting stuck up brand,” she posted via Twitter to her 548,000 followers.

“America isn’t burning their Balenciaga because we never owned it in the first place,” Greene added.

In its first statement of apology, shared via its Instagram Story on November 22, the brand said, “Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign.”

While referring to the second ad, shot for its Spring 2023 collection, Balenciaga added: “We apologize for displaying unsettling documents in our campaign,” noting, “We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form.”

In a separate statement posted to Instagram on November 28, the company said the “campaigns in question reflect a series of grievous errors for which Balenciaga takes responsibility.”

It also admitted that the decision to include children with toys dressed in “BDSM-inspired outfits” was “wrong” and said the “responsibility for this lies with Balenciaga alone.”

As for the legal document featured in the Spring 2023 campaign, the Spanish company confirmed it was from the United States vs. Williams case. The 2008 Supreme Court ruling prohibited the pandering of child pornography.

“All the items included in this shooting were provided by third parties that confirmed in writing that these props were fake office documents,” Balenciaga wrote. “They turned out to be [real] papers most likely coming from the filming of a television drama. The inclusion of these unapproved documents was the result of reckless negligence for which Balenciaga has filed a complaint.”

The brand added: “We take full accountability for our lack of oversight and control of the documents in the background and we could have done things differently.”

At the time of publication, Greene’s post racked up more than 7,000 likes, and in the replies, many users agreed with the Republican.

“Exactly. Never owned it,” one person wrote, while a second added, “Exactly right—I had never heard of it until maybe 10 days ago.”

Another Twitter user commented: “100% CORRECT!!!!!” while a second tweet read, “Facts!”

Celebrities have been protesting against Balenciaga by burning and throwing out their clothes from the brand.

Country singer Jason Aldean’s wife, Brittany Aldean, was among those who tossed out their Balenciaga items. On November 30, she posted a photo of herself holding two clear trash bags with various branded products including shoes and several purses.

“It’s trash day @balenciaga,” Aldean captioned the image.

Meanwhile, former Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr. and his wife Lauren Burnham Luyendyk also shared a video via Instagram of them setting fire to their Balenciaga sneakers. “Won’t miss ya,” they said.
