Apparently the permanent A list actress has decided since it is not going to hurt her career to not say anything about the designer, she just won’t say a word about it and keep cashing those checks.

Why Nicole Kidman Is Being ‘Canceled’ Right Now

Actress Nicole Kidman is taking flack on social media right now for failing to speak out against the fashion brand Balenciaga, which is under fire right now for alleged involvement in child pornography, according to a report by The New Zealand Herald. While other stars who have collaborated with Balenciaga have made public statements about the controversy, Kidman has not.

The backlash at Balenciaga reportedly began two weeks ago when the brand published an ad campaign that featured images of young girls carrying stuffed animals wearing bondage gear. Many were disturbed by these sexualized images and wondered who their target audience was. Meanwhile, another image showed a page from the Supreme Court ruling United States. v. Williams, which was the ruling that deemed child pornography illegal and not protected under the right to freedom of speech. Last week, Balenciaga announced that it is suing the photographer responsible for the latter photo and apologizing to fans.

In the meantime, the company’s work continues – as does work for its hired models. Kidman was among them, posting two photos of herself in a Balenciaga ad campaign on Instagram while the whole controversy was taking shape. Commenters wondered why Kidman would participate in this promotion in the midst of such scandal, though some defenders speculated that she may have been contractually obligated. – Source
