The video clip, which starred the star of the Saudi club Al Hilal, Salem Al-Dossari, caused controversy on social networks.
Al-Dosari appeared in a “jacket” with the words “Dar Balenciaga” for Spanish fashion.
Last month, The Gift of Balenciaga came under fire in light of allegations that it relied on child exploitation, the practice of “pedophilia” or sexual abuse of children, and the use of satanic rituals in its advertising campaigns.
The house later apologized for what it called a “mistake” in the way the children were photographed, but the statement did not satisfy others and the children’s rights association.
Definitely an act of goodwill on the part of the player #Salem_Dosari but i was hoping for an important site as a news site #Crescent Consider and study the dimensions before posting, the House of Balenciaga is undergoing a major boycott campaign due to the promotion of immoral thought, so I wanted to keep the clip from posting so as not to affect the younger generation.

Reactions to what Saudi star Al-Dosari wore varied, with those saying he was “acting in good faith” and that he was unaware of the controversy surrounding the fashion house, while others demanded that the player apologize and others called for celebrities in Saudi Arabia to take a “hard line” and the need to know what’s going on in the world, especially since the Saudi league has now become a “trend”.

The world, celebrities and society are all against Balenciaga because of their “child rape” propaganda.
Celebrities in Saudi Arabia need to be relevant and aware of what’s going on in the world because our league has become a trend right now and by golly, this shouldn’t be done.
