I’ll find it interesting how they handle it. They could spin it similar to the GP Goop Dipaire and say they’re calling out the abuse of kids/child labor. Like “kids are not for sale,” “the outrage was intentional”. It’s fucking nuts, though and they should never be purchased again.

Hi Shannon! I saw a rumor on tiktok that Nicole kiddman's father was involved in a sex trafficking ring in Australia, could you do a mini episode on her involvement in the photoshoot and her history? I feel like it's something a lot of people are ignoring

I hear you - but what about the child fornography paper under the bag? It’s hard to see what it is so it couldn’t be a PR stunt, it isn’t flashy and obvious. But it’s bizarre to put that under the bag, and even if it is a PR stunt - that’s sick and wrong of people to think that child cornography is stunt worthy!

Would not be surprised if they worshipped demons

I used to work for Balenciaga’s corporate office in the US. This was a few years ago during Demna’s start. Stark white room, shockingly quiet office of maybe 7-8 people trying to do the least amount of work possible. The Paris office was similar, except a few upper creatives bending over backwards for press of any kind. To me, this seems like a PR stunt gone wrong that went over the head of anyone who could have cared enough about their job to call it out. I wasn’t surprised tbh, but the odds of anything purposefully sinister are pretty low.

I like a mix of both short and long episodes 🙏🙏🙏

Madeleine

LOVE these short episodes

Something interesting to note is the most recent episode of the Kardashians almost appeared to be a proactive press cleanup, like they knew this might be coming, so they had to clear Kim's name beforehand, as it related to Balenciaga. There was a scene where Kris and Kim are trying to pronounce different fashion designer names. When they got to Balenciaga, Kris wasnt saying it quite right, so Kim kept saying "ball-enciaga" very dramatized, emphasis on the Ball.... which sounds a lot like the name of the demon you mentioned. My mind immediately flashed to this scene of them repeating "ball" for 20 seconds straight.... spooky 😳

The short episodes throughout the week is great!!

Jen

Thank you for covering this Shannon. This whole thing is truly sickening, and I just despair with it. It feels like this is all hiding in plain sight and I hate feeling like I'm propelling moral panic or siding with the right for being outraged about the sexualization of children. People need to wake up... the mommy bloggers and their TikTok saved videos, p**o sympathizers involved in children's charities, now these fucking fashion brands - and that's just been in the past few months alone. And yes, fuck Kim K. I really appreciate hearing your thoughts on it all.

Lolhi

Yes need you to keep doing this

Jessica S.

Yes please! I love the idea of dropping throughout the week. Don’t push yourself too hard though 😊

Belle

I definitely wouldn't mind several short episodes cause I'm always sad on the days with no new episode haha

Noelle

A billionaire could pay for wayyyy more than a few hundred families lives, especially in poorer places

YESSS SHANNON!! Everything you said, I wish I could say lol. I can tell you about how insulting Balenciagas excuse is bc I know the high fashion retail merchandising world! They ABSOLUTELY hired him to take those pictures JUST AS THEY ARE. Imagine an international Fashion House from 1919 letting a photographer who as they are alluding just do what he wants, without them seeing it. OH and give him sole access to all media outlets. It’s insulting they assume people are THAT dumb. We’re not. The amount of time, money and people that have to approve of decisions like this are months, millions and hundreds of employees. YOU ARE RIGHT! Kim couldn’t do anything to come back from this in my mind!! Isn’t she wanting to be an attorney who OWNED a fashion line??! If saying pedophilia is real means Qanon then maybe we need to wonder why people are more upset about the people who want to help kids. Maybe it’s time to start judging those people because it always has been look at the Romans and the Greeks! The Olympics were started by men who would get boys to wrestle and do competitions against each other! It was entertainment. We’ve turned entertainers into mentors and that is coming to an end. You cannot claim to be the smartest person in the room and the dumbest. Good job Shannon!

Gustavo

Love the small episodes! As for balenciaga, TBH I’m leaning toward this being an edgy campaign. It’s like all they do pretty much.

Kayla Pellman

However you want to split the episodes up I will listen either way!

Skylar Little
