Kylie Jenneris speaking out on claims that she shared a photo of her son to distract fans from the Balenciaga scandal.
The makeup mogul, 25, posted a new image of her 9-month-old son — whom she shares withTravis Scott— on Monday. The photo came asBalenciaga received backlashfor its “Gift Collection” campaign, which was released earlier this month and featured photos of children holding handbags that looked like teddy bears wearing leather harnesses and spiked collars with wine glasses near in some of the shots.
Now, Kylie has addressed speculation that her son’s latest social media appearance was due to the Balenciaga fallout.
A TikTok user alleged in a video thatKris Jenner, 67, instructed Kylie andKim Kardashian, 42, to post “the good photos after the Balenciaga scandal.”

In the clip, the TikTok user reposted Jenner’s recent photo of her son — whose name Jenner and Scott have yet to share since it waschanged from Wolf— and her 4-year-old daughterStormi. She also shared a photo that Kardashian posted of her andTristan Thompsonhaving aThanksgiving mealwith inmates at Camp Kilpatrick.
“Uh whyyyyyy would i post my child to cover up for balenciaga ?” she wrote. “This is why i don’t do this. always something to say.”
Jenner’s pointed comment marks the first time she’s responded to the scandal.
“Iappreciate Balenciaga’s removal of the campaigns and apology. 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,” Kardashian concluded the statement.
She also said she would be “reevaluating my relationshipwith the brand.”
