    Fans slammed Meghan Markle for attending a Balenciaga fashion show after the brand was “canceled” for using children in a creepy ad.

    On Saturday, the Duchess of Sussex made her Paris Fashion Week debut in a white, long-sleeved button-down tunic with a flowing cape and matching slacks.

    A spokesperson for Markle said she attended the event to support pal Pierpaolo Piccioli, who became Creative Director for the House in July.

    While the “Suits” alum, 44, was lauded for how amazing she looked, other fans questioned why the Netflix star would support a brand that has been involved in so much controversy.

    “The ‘duchess’ of hypocrisy: a lady who claims to defend the interests of children, going to a fashion show that ran a disgusting campaign with children,” wrote one user on Instagram.

    “Why on earth would she go to a Balenciaga show? How could any mother support that brand?” added another.

    “Irony a cancelled woman turns up for a cancelled brand. What is a mother thinking attending a fashion show of a house which used child models posing with fetish-themed teddy bears?” claimed a third person.

    “Oh the brand that suxualized [sic] children…. That’s nice @meghan,” commented a fourth netizen.

    “Balenciaga with their child p*rn and abuse and pedophilia, shows what Meghan really cares about.. herself and whoever will give her a spotlight 🤷🏽‍♀️,” said another Instagram user.
