Brittany Aldean made it clear that she wasn't bringing any more Balenciaga goods into her home in a social media post shared on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old wife of country music star Jason Aldean shared a photo to Instagram of herself carrying clear plastic bags out of her home.
She was reacting to a recent scandal for the fashion house after it came under fire for a holiday campaign photoshoot that featured child models posing with teddy bear bags covered BDSM gear.
Brittany had come under fire earlier this summer for making transphobic comments, prompting furious backlash from several country musicians, including Maren Morris.
Speaking out: Jason Aldean's wife Brittany, 33, posed while seeming to throw out Balenciaga clothing in a post from Wednesday in response to controversy over the brand's holiday campaign, which featured children and BDSM-themed teddy bears
In her photo, Brittany was seen looking sleek in an all-black ensemble featuring a slim sweater and tight black pants.
She stood tall in a set of pointy-toed black platform boots and wore her long blond locks in gentle waves cascading down her shoulders, which put the spotlight on her chunky black cat-eye sunglasses.
Rather than standard opaque trash bags, she selected clear plastic bags for her staged photo. They were filled with Balenciaga gear, including a $3000 orange handbags and $400 slide sandals.
Brittany also appeared to have a backpack slung over her shoulder that was filled with more gray Balenciaga clothing.
'It's trash day @balenciaga,' she declared in her caption.
Balenciaga recently came under fire after releasing its holiday 2022 ad campaign.
The photoshoot including disturbing images of young children posing with Balenciaga's Plush Toy Bag, which was designed to look like a colorful teddy bear, but covered in black straps resembling BDSM gear.
The children themselves didn't appear to be in sexualized positions or clothing, but the photoset included other disturbing details like empty wine glasses and champagne flutes.

Balenciaga initially shifted the blame to the photographer Gabriele Galimberti, who snapped the pictures in Paris.
However, Galimberti doesn't appear to have designed or decorated the set on which he was photographing, and the brand subsequently agreed that he did not have control over the shoot.
Making matters worse, another separate Balenciaga photoshoot also featured a disturbing connection to pedophilia.
For the brand's spring 2023 campaign, celebrities including Bella Hadid and Nicole Kidman were photographed in business settings in what appeared to be a skyscraper.
However, eagle-eyed observers noted that one of the photos featured a pile of documents in the background, which were revealed to be a printout of a Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Williams, on whether child pornography could be considered a protected form of free speech.
The two photoshoots were not connected, but critics worried that together they represented a concerning culture within Balenciaga.
