Advertisers ditch Carlson and Pirro’s Fox News shows as protesters urge companies to join them
By Kayla Epstein Kayla Epstein Embedded audience editor on the National desk Email Bio Follow March 13 at 12:04 PM Some advertisers are backing away from Tucker Carlson and Jeanine Pirro’s Fox News shows after the two high-profile hosts were accused of making bigoted statements, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
In one set of recordings, Carlson made controversial statements about child rape and comments that could be construed as misogynist. SHEEX, a bedding company, told The Hollywood Reporter that “due to the inappropriate statements of Tucker Carlson that have recently come to light, SHEEX has made the decision to cease advertising on his television program, Tucker Carlson Tonight.”
Pirro, meanwhile, has earned condemnation — including a rebuke from Fox News — for insinuating on Saturday’s edition of her show that Omar, who has criticized Israel, did not support the Constitution because she was Muslim and wore a hijab. Novo Nordisk, another pharmaceutical company told The Post it was “reevaluating” its ads on Pirro’s show.
