Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, and Lola Blankets said Friday that they no longer sponsor or advertise on left-leaning host Jennifer Welch’s I’ve Had It podcast. The companies’ statements and customer-service messages were shared online as backlash grew.
Cash App cited its opposition to violence when it announced that it was no longer sponsoring the program. Chewy and Lola Blankets addressed their relationships with the podcast in customer responses posted online, while Boll & Branch said it would not advertise on the show in the future. Not every company specified when its sponsorship ended.
“We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast,” Cash App wrote on X after a user tagged the company and called for a boycott over its sponsorship of the episode.
“Does Cashapp support the mocking of a murder victim?” the user asked.
Chewy said it was no longer affiliated with the podcast in a customer-service response shared by X user Val Candee.
“I do want to clarify that Chewy is no longer affiliated with or sponsoring the ‘I’ve Had It’ podcast,” the representative wrote.
“We value your trust and appreciate the opportunity to address this concern. Our focus remains on the health and happiness of pets and the people who love them,” the message continued.
Boll & Branch responded to the controversy directly on X.
Lola Blankets likewise said it no longer works with the podcast, according to a message shared by X user CaraGrace23, who said a friend had reached out to the company.
“Thank you for your comment. We no longer work with that podcast,” the company’s message read.
Boll & Branch and Lola Blankets were both identified as sponsors in the description of the podcast’s October 27 episode, “Everybody’s a F**king Expert,” which featured discount offers for their products.
Cash App’s sponsorship of the show appeared in earlier episodes as well. During “Who Gives a Zuck?,” Welch promoted the payment service, thanked the company for its support, and included a download link along with advertising disclosures.
The companies’ statements came after the podcast’s November 5 episode, titled “Drinking MAGA Tears.” In that installment, Welch and Sullivan read social media posts celebrating Democratic election victories and mocking conservatives.
The hosts had been discussing posts ridiculing conservative views on abortion, vaccines, and transgender issues when Welch reached a comment about Kirk. Before reading it, she praised the people who had written the posts and said their jokes made her feel patriotic.
“We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again,” Welch read.
Both hosts lowered their heads and laughed for more than 20 seconds.
