Former Balenciaga fans filmed themselves burning and shredding up designer clothes from the fashion brand over its BDSM pedophile photoshoot scandal.
YouTuber Omi In a Hellcat declared Balenciaga was dead to him before burning all the shoes and clothes he bought from the Spain-based brand.
“Cancelled. And if you wear this bullsh*t, don’t come around my kids ever again,” he stated as he kicked his shoes into a pile.
“I’m not giving this sh*t away. I’m burning everything, because if you wear this, you represent pedophilia, and I don’t f*ck with it.”
“I’m the biggest Balenciaga fan. But these gotta go. Cancelled,” he added before burning apparel valued at thousands of dollars in his backyard grill.
Another Balenciaga patron, Chloe Hennessey from East London, filmed herself cutting up her luxury £600 hoodie, and a t-shirt and sunglasses worth £1,700 total.
Hennessey learned of the scandal after posting a video of herself on social media wearing her Balenciaga glasses.
“I actually love Balenciaga. They used to be my favorite brand,” she said. “I had been home with my son as he’s been sick, so I didn’t know what was going on, when I posted the video. I was really confused about people calling me a pedophile.”
“After I started investigation my whole TikTok was flooded with videos about what happened. I felt sick to my stomach.”
That’s when she decided to destroy her Balenciaga gear.
“People have asked why I didn’t just donate my stuff, but if I did someone else would be wearing it and promoting them,” she explained.
“Obviously I’m not rich, so it was annoying to have to get rid of all of it, but taking a stand is so much more important in my opinion.”
A TikTok user with 65,000 followers recorded herself tearing up her black leather bag, which she said cost $1,500.
“This is basically my everyday bag. It’s not going to be anymore,” she said before cutting the strap with scissors.
Other users across TikTok are also filming themselves destroying Belanciaga merchandise.
A street artist also vandalized a Balenciaga store’s shop windows in Central London with clean stenciled text that reads “PEDOPHILIA.”
