Tunisian model\/actress and Dubai resident, Rym Saidi, cut up and tore a Balenciaga shoe to show her disapproval and boycott of the brand<\/h2>\n

In the video, Rym is holding a pair of scissors with which she completely destroys the shoe in a symbolic feat: \u201cAs a mother, influencer, and public figure and I have so many Instagram followers I can\u2019t keep quiet.”<\/p>\n

Balenciaga\u2019s Spring 2023 fashion campaign recently released images that featured children holding teddy bears with sexually indicative accessories such as black belts, chains and mesh. Worse still, some users on the internet noticed that under a suitcase was kept a court document which contained excerpts of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on child sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n

With the online outrage that Balenciaga encountered, it quickly apologized and deleted the pictures. Evidently, the brand will not easily get away with it as people have been calling out the brand’s ambassador Kim Kardashian to take action,<\/p>\n

Rym’s captions the video with “Raise your voice” and “Protect your children” but also not without a challenge: “Kim Kardashian, it\u2019s ur turn, I challenge you to do the same.”<\/p>\n
