Kim Kardashian Westappeared to delete an Instagram post promoting Dolce & Gabbana after fans began slamming the star for supportingthe controversial label.
Over the weekend Kardashian West, 38, posted a video on her Instagram Story showing off a gift sent from Dolce & Gabbana, whichPage Sixnoticed she deleted a mere hour after posting, likely due to backlash.
“So I come home to these amazing huge Dolce & Gabbana boxes,” she said in the since-deleted clip. “Yes!” Kardashian West’s 5½-year-old daughter North West can be heard squealing in the background. “Yes! That’s how I felt. And inside are these sequin tuxedo…it’s like a jacket with a vest,” Kardashian West added.

One fantweetedto Kardashian West after seeing her post, “Mad disappointed in@KimKardashianfor giving Dolce & Gabbana air time on her instagram story. I refuse to support unapologetic racists that attack those who don’t agree with them. I will never get over their ignorance and hate and I need those with large platforms to do the same.”
“@KimKardashiansurely you’re not happy about receiving or buying anything from@dolcegabbanaare you?????” another Twitter usersaid.
“@KimKardashianyou have a platform, you have a voice, you have impact. Use it to educate instead of endorse. Yes, this is about@dolcegabbana.#dolcegabbana,”addedsomeone else.
Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolcetook a lot of heatfor statements Dolce made about gay parenting and IVF being unnatural (to recap, Dolce toldPanoramamagazine, “We oppose gay adoptions. The only family is the traditional one … No chemical offsprings and rented uterus; Life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed”).
Kardashian and husbandKanye Westare expecting their fourth child via a surrogate, another reason why she probably deleted her Instagram Story promoting the brand.
Celebritiesboycotted the brand, a top exec stepped down and the designers laid low, but earlier this year theyreturned with an apology inVoguefor statements they say they did not mean.
