Cristiano Ronaldo has been embroiled in another controversy after pictures emerged of him with Francis Ngannou, the UFC Heavyweight Champion of the world, wearing a pair of Balenciaga flip-flops. The two were seen laughing and posing in the picture.
Balenciaga, a high-end fashion label, has encountered considerable criticism in the wake of its latest advertisement campaign that supposedly included child p*rnography. The advertisement depicted two young girls grasping teddy bears in their hands. The issue, however, was that the stuffed animals were wearing bondage apparel.
Great talking with the 🐐 in Riyadh today. Very inspirational! @Cristiano pic.twitter.com/aaMXmc1GUB

In 2008, a US court ruling confirmed the legality of federal statutes related to virtual child p*rn. Balenciaga has since been subject to a lot of criticism for their ad that depicted such a sensitive topic in a poor manner. People have expressed their intense feelings about this advertising campaign on social media websites such as Twitter.
Just reminding everyone that Balenciaga had a whole ad campaign with several nods to pedophilia and many of your favorite celebrities are continuing to work with them.
