The I've Had It podcast is losing advertisers after its hosts laughed at a joke about Charlie Kirk's assassination on Thursday's episode. Cohost Jennifer Welch read a social media post that made light of the killing, and cohost Angie "Pumps" Sullivan laughed along, sparking outrage and calls for brands to pull their support. Dave Chappelle faces backlash over a joke about the assassination, and Erika Kirk has spoken out. On Saturday the hosts apologized, calling the joke insensitive and expressing regret over their reaction, and announced a donation to Everytown for Gun Safety. The apology has not stopped the departures. Jones Road Beauty, ZipRecruiter, Ethos, Honeylove, Ember Mugs, Momentous, Chewy, Cash App and Casper have all ended or dropped their sponsorships, and several said the comments do not reflect their values and that they do not condone violence. Welch told TMZ that the show still has plenty of advertisers and is not going anywhere, and said it had gained nearly 40,000 new followers in recent days.
