It's performative. Her brand ambassador contract with Balenciaga already ended, Kim K's hasn't. Which is why Kim K's statement said she was reevaluating rather than "cutting ties."
Maybe I’m cynical. But I believe of the celebrities cutting ties with this brand don’t have an issue with it. I think they know the public opinion is very negative with the brand now and I wouldn’t be surprised if in a few months to a year all the celebrities boycotting Balenciaga will be wearing their clothing and posting it on social media again.
I agree, idk about this woman in particular but most celebrity "activism" is just window dressing and pandering. Don't take these people too seriously, it's literally their job to pretend to be something they're not.
I'm glad she stood up for herself and chose not to associate with a unhealthy brand.
