Cash App, Chewy, Boll & Branch, and Lola Blankets said Friday that they no longer sponsor or advertise Jennifer Welch’s leftist I’ve Had It podcast. The companies responded as backlash grew over an episode in which Welch and Sullivan laughed after reading a post about desecrating Charlie Kirk’s body.

The companies addressed their relationships with the podcast through public statements or customer service messages that were later shared online. Their responses did not all explain precisely when the sponsorships ended, but each company distanced itself from the program.

Cash App condemned violence while confirming that it was no longer sponsoring the show. The company responded on X after a user tagged Cash App and urged a boycott because of its sponsorship of the episode.

“We do not condone violence of any kind, and we are no longer sponsors of this podcast,” Cash App wrote. The user had asked the company directly, “Does Cashapp support the mocking of a murder victim?”

Chewy also said it was no longer connected to the podcast. Its response came through a customer service message shared by X user Val Candee, giving the company an opportunity to clarify its relationship with Welch’s show.

“I do want to clarify that Chewy is no longer affiliated with or sponsoring the ‘I’ve Had It’ podcast,” the Chewy representative wrote. The message left little room for confusion about the company’s current position.

The representative continued, “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.”

Boll & Branch addressed the controversy directly on X and publicly ruled out future advertising with the podcast.

Lola Blankets likewise said it no longer works with the show, according to a response shared by X user CaraGrace23, who said a friend contacted the company.

“Thank you for your comment. We no longer work with that podcast,” the Lola Blankets message read. Like the other statements, it did not specify exactly when the company ended its relationship with the program.

Both Boll & Branch and Lola Blankets had been listed as sponsors in the description for the podcast’s October 27 episode, titled “Everybody’s a F**king Expert.” That description included discount offers tied to products from both companies.

Cash App’s relationship with the program was documented in earlier episodes. Welch promoted the company during an episode titled “Who Gives a Zuck?” while the hosts also thanked Cash App for sponsoring the show.

That earlier episode included a Cash App download link and advertising disclosures. The prior promotion became relevant as users questioned the company about whether it remained financially connected to the podcast after the later controversy.

The corporate statements followed the November 5 episode titled “Drinking MAGA Tears.” During that program, Welch and Sullivan read social media posts celebrating Democrat election victories while ridiculing conservatives.

The hosts discussed posts mocking conservative positions on abortion, vaccines, and transgender issues. Before reaching the comment involving Kirk, Welch praised the people creating the posts and said their jokes made her feel patriotic.

“We’re digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again,” Welch then read. Both hosts lowered their heads and laughed for more than 20 seconds after the comment was delivered.

That ugly spectacle quickly became the focus of the backlash surrounding the podcast’s advertisers. Cash App condemned violence, Chewy denied any continuing affiliation, and Lola Blankets said its work with the show had ended, while Boll & Branch ruled out future advertising.

The companies were not uniform in explaining the timing of their decisions, and their statements did not all say whether the relationships ended before or after the November 5 episode. What they did make clear was that they no longer wanted their brands tied to Welch’s podcast.
