<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; cohosts admitted they couldn&#8217;t even show the Balenciaga &#8220;fetish themed&#8221; ad on their show Monday during a discussion about the fashion house&#8217;s marketing campaign featuring children holding teddy bears that were wearing bondage gear.</p>
<p>During a panel discussion on the <a href="https://twitter.com/TheView/status/1597292992473309186?s=20&amp;t=dFXgU6DPA8O_zYzIHnRyPg">ABC daytime talk show,</a> Joy Behar talked about how the the fashion company &#8220;is under fire&#8221; for its BDSM-themed ad sexualizing children as her cohosts called them &#8220;distasteful.&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/balenciaga-apologizes-for-advertisement-showcasing-minors-holding-bdsm-teddy-bear-purses">Balenciaga</a> has apologized and has blamed the production company, which they are <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/balenciaga-suing-production-company-25-155314719.html">suing</a>, for the ad.</p>
<p>&#8220;I found this ad campaign particularly distasteful in this moment,&#8221; Alyssa Farah Griffin explained.</p>
<p>&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-host-claims-jesus-would-be-the-grand-marshal-at-the-pride-parade">Sunny Hostin</a> replied. &#8220;I mean, we can&#8217;t even show the picture because it&#8217;s so distasteful. But what&#8217;s also very distasteful is Balenciaga lately, I mean, their stuff is just ugly. I mean the bag that that little girl is holding is ugly. Do you remember when Kim [Kardashian] was dressed in Balenciaga for the Met Gala.&#8221;</p>
<p>The clip then went to a snap of the reality star covered head to toe in a black outfit, and Hostin remarked that Kardashian &#8220;looked like a bat.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;So they are, I don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if their intent is to be subversive and draw attention to the issues. Or are they just making ugly things.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ana Navarro asked how Balenciaga could now &#8220;sue somebody when they designed a bag for their holiday season.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The bag is shaped like a teddy bear wearing bondage gear,&#8221; Navarro added. &#8220;Now, it takes hundreds of people in a fashion house like Balenciaga to approve a design. To approve an ad campaign. So, I&#8217;m sorry you guys, I know you&#8217;re trying to cover your a**, but you got bigger problems then&#8230; you got to look inside your house, because you&#8217;ve got people who are not doing their job well. Who have no damn common sense.&#8221;</p>
<p>At one point, the cohosts talked about how Kardashian has since spoken out about the ad and said it might be time to re-evaluate her relationship with the fashion house, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-slammed-for-statement-over-balenciaga-scandal-there-is-no-grey-area-here">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,&#8221; Kardashian shared previously.  &#8220;The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I appreciate Balenciaga&#8217;s removal of the campaigns and apology,&#8221; she added. &#8220;In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again. As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — &amp; the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.&#8221;</p>
<p>The fashion house apologized and is taking legal action against its production company, Hostin noted.  She then shared that the set designer released a statement saying &#8220;everyone&#8221; at Balenciaga was on the shoot&#8221; and &#8220;worked on the edit of every image.&#8221;</p>
