Celebrities
lose
followers
after
Balenciaga’s
Fall
2024
fashion
show.
Amongst
the
biggest
hits,
Cardi
B
loses
over
130k
followers
on
Instagram
after
closing
the
show.
Read
more
details
about
who
was
affected
by
participating
in
the
controversial
fashion
brand’s
latest
show
inside.
The
findings
retrieved
by Replay
Poker reveal
that
the
“‘WAP’
rapper
lost
133,619
on
Dec.
3,
a
day
after
closing
the
Balenciaga
Fall
2024
fashion
show
in
Los
Angeles.
It
represents
the
artist’s
biggest
loss
of
followers
in
the
last
30
days
after
making
her
runway
debut.
Other
celebrities
like
Kim
Kardashian
and
Kendall
Jenner,
who
were
also
in
attendance,
lost
over
300,000
and
450,000
followers,
respectively.
However,
actress
Nicole
Kidman
was
announced
as
Balenciaga’s
new
ambassador
and
now
gained
5,000
followers.
Kardashian
was
once
closely
associated
with
the
brand,
but
after
their
controversial
advertisements,
she
condemned
them
publicly
online.
The
brand
itself
has
lost
6,082
followers
two
days
since
the
Fall
2024
show.
The
controversies
have
followed
the
house
after
its
November
2022
ad
campaign
featured
children
carrying
teddy
bears
in
BSDM
harnesses
received
widespread
criticism,
causing
an
exodus
of
followers
and
the
hashtag
#cancelBalenciaga
to
trend
online.
Representatives
from
the
luxury
brand
issued
an
apology
and
announced
plans
for
a
reorganization
and
a
partnership
with
the
National
Children’s
Alliance
(NCA).
A
spokesperson
for Replay
Poker commented
on
the
findings
saying,
“It’s
fascinating
to
see
how,
despite
the
influence
of
global
figures
like
Cardi
B
and
Kim
Kardashian,
viewers
remain
unimpressed
at
their
attendance
to
the
Balenciaga
show.”
It
appears
that
after
the
luxury
brand’s
disastrous
year,
fans
aren’t
as
quick
to
forgive
as
celebrity
fans
and
ambassadors.
In
fact,
stars
engaging
with
the
brand
is
turning
off
followers
–
revealing
a
disconnect
between
fans
and
their
favorite
stars.
Interestingly,
even
though
Nicole
Kidman
was
announced
as
the
brand’s
new
ambassador,
her
follower
count
has
grown.
Whereas
Cardi
B,
Kendall
Jenner,
and
Kim
Kardashian
have
all
lost
hundreds
of
thousands
from
their
Instagram
accounts,
and
Balenciaga
has
lost
5,000.
It
appears
that
not
all
has
been
forgiven,
and
there
is
still
more
rehabilitation
for
the
fashion
house
to
do.
