Child Model Ella Gross’s Mother Has A Message To The People Who Sparked Controversy Over Baskin Robbins CF

Posted by eottoke13,182 pts Tuesday, July 2, 2019

Just recently, some of the South Korean public went haywire after seeing a Baskin Robbins CF in which child model Ella Gross starred in.

Some people complained that the CF objectified the young model as an adult model. After the controversy, Baskin Robbins responded by halting the exposure of the CF to cater to the complaints that some of the public had.

And just recently, the young model’s mother wrote a lengthy message for the people who were opposed against the CF.

You can read it below.

I wanted to take a moment to address the reaction that Ella received to a recent project that she worked on with Baskin Robbins Korea. I’m saddened to see how certain segments of the Korean public reacted to this commercial. What was honestly meant to be a fun commercial for a new ice cream flavor is being perceived by them as something disgusting and horrific. As most women, I have many roles in my life. However, I am first and foremost a mother, a title in which I take great pride and value above anything else. Ella is my daughter who I would gladly give my life for. It pains me that people have lashed out in such a careless and combative way. Ella continues to grow up with strong faith in God and I pray she will be a role model for other girls. What matters most is how you are on the inside. Ella is a beautiful soul because she truly does not have any bad intentions. She is one of the most hard working, strongest, sweetest, down to earth girls you will ever meet. She is intelligent, she is humble, and she really is a great girl. To those that are rallying against the Baskin Robbins commercial, stop saying that you are doing this “for Ella.” She is surrounded and loved by many strong and powerful women who wholeheartedly have her best interests at heart and who are confused and angered by your hurtful and negative reactions to a beautiful child. To Ella’s fans, her friends and family that pour love onto our sweet girl, I truly want to say Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I have realized how a few words of kindness really mean more than a thousand words of hate. I am so thankful for you all! ~Ella’s Mom

    The problem is with the people who see this as a sexualization of a child. No one else saw it that way until someone pointed it out and the sheeps started to gather.

    Ella's mom comes so close to telling those people who are up in arms that they are full blown morons. Which they are.
