27 brands? Hmm...what's left, My Pillow?Outback Steakhouse stopped advertising on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show in January, a representative told Business Insider.
Outback is currently facing backlash on social media as Carlson's critics push for advertisers to cut ties with the show. On Sunday evening, recordings resurfaced by Media Matters for America revealed the host degrading women and defending a now-convicted child sexual abuser.
At least 27 brands have stopped advertising on Carlson's show in recent months, following Carlson's controversial on-air comments about women and immigrants.
Well...I can see how that might ruin your steak.In the recordings, Carlson can be heard making a number of degrading remarks about women, including calling them "extremely primitive" and comparing them to dogs, as well as defending the now-convicted child sexual abuser Warren Jeffs.
