Despite all the online commotion, the father of the child is defending Balenciaga’s shoot saying his daughter had a “fantastic time” posing for the photographs. Speaking exclusively with the Daily Mail, the father, who remains anonymous said he was present at the shoot, which was “an enjoyable day out.” He insisted the pictures of his daughter had been taken “totally out of context.” He went on to say,
“No parent would actively encourage the child to take part in something which was pornographic, and I think the publicity surrounding what happened has been blown out of all proportion,” he told the outlet.
Stage parents are the WORST. Brad Pitt once said they are the worst of the worst...
This parent doesn't sound like a stage parent at all. Your typical stage parents are Lindsey Lohan's and Britney Spears' parents, and look how they turned out.

For me? No. Their lawsuit also is ridiculous and attempting to pass the buck — it makes me think even worse of them, not better. There was no way this was not approved and vetted internally.
I’m done.
Me too. I'm done buying Balenciaga! LOL.![]()
Never again I tell you! I predict I'll be seeing very little of it day-to-day going forward, too.![]()
Do you think the damage is that severe??

Anonymous wrote:This is one of those rare areas where the US is truly morally superior to France. Pedophilia and incest are somehow still gray areas in some intellectual and fashion circles. But as PP’s have said, things are changing. Google “nytimes France incest” for many recent stories. My hope is that this gets the entire fashion house shut down. It should be a #metoo moment on behalf of children.
