Several companies pull their sponsorship from a podcast following jokes about Charlie Kirk's murder

Several U.S. companies have distanced themselves from the podcast “I've Had It,” hosted by Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan, after the two became embroiled in a controversy over their comments regarding the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which occurred in September 2025.

Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch and Lola Blankets confirmed on Friday, Nov. 6, that they no longer have advertising relationships with the show, amid a wave of criticism on social media, according to as reported by Breitbart News. Not all of them specified when their commercial agreements ended.

The controversy began during the Nov. 5 episode, titled "Drinking MAGA Tears,” in which the hosts, known for their progressive views and their criticism of the American conservative movement, discussed social media posts about the recent election results.

At one point in the show, Welch read a message that said, "Let's dig up Charlie Kirk and do it all over again," referring to his murder. Both hosts began laughing for more than 20 seconds, according to the video and information published by Breitbart.

The scene spread rapidly on social media and sparked strong criticism of the hosts, as well as questions directed at the companies that advertised their products on the show.

Companies distance themselves from the show

One of the first companies to speak out was Cash App, a financial services platform that had sponsored episodes of the podcast. In response to user criticism on X, the company stated: "We do not tolerate violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast."

The decision was also confirmed directly by a Cash App spokesperson to the media outlet Headline USA.

For its part, Chewy, a company specializing in pet products, clarified in a customer service message that it was no longer affiliated with or sponsoring the show.

The bedding company Boll & Branch publicly stated that it currently does not advertise on “I've Had It” and that it will not do so in the future either.

Lola Blankets joined in with these responses, confirming via a social media post that it no longer works with the podcast. The statements from the four companies were compiled by Breitbart.

The show's sponsorship history shows that Boll & Branch and Lola Blankets were listed among the sponsors of an episode published on Oct. 27, while Cash App appeared in promotions for previous episodes and even in the description of the episode that sparked the controversy.

Comments on Kirk's alleged killer

During the same broadcast, the hosts also made statements about the political leanings of the suspect in the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Welch claimed that the activist had been murdered by someone linked to the MAGA movement, while Sullivan referred to the accused's family background.

However, those claims are not supported by the available data on the suspect, Tyler Robinson. According to Breitbart's initial report, Robinson was registered to vote as a nonpartisan, while his parents were listed as Republicans.

Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA and one of the best-known figures in American conservative activism, died on Sept. 10, 2025, at the age of 31, after being shot during an event at the University of Utah Valley.

Robinson was charged with aggravated murder, and the district attorney's office announced that it would seek the death penalty.
