Paris Jackson got some press this week after walking out of last Friday’s Dior Couture spring/summer 2019 Cruise collection in France. Now, she’s revealing why.

“To be clear, I did not ‘storm out’ of the show. I quietly got up and walked out trying my hardest to not cause a scene, because I do not support animals being branded and whipped,” she wrote on Twitter. “Not trying to become enemies in the fashion world in any way, but I will always be myself.”

A source confirmed to People magazine that Paris “quietly” left the event because she had concerns about how the horses were treated during the label’s highly produced show, meant to showcase a women’s rodeo.

“She was uncomfortable with how the horses were being handled (the whipping sound was loud) so she quietly slipped out,” the source said. “The ladies performing with the horses were riding side-saddle so they had to use a crop to get the horses to go straight and it was pouring rain with no tent. Paris meant no disrespect to the brand. She loved the collection and had a wonderful time in Paris with Dior.”
