Wrigley gum has now suspended all advertisements featuring the R&B star, including the popular commercial that even played during the telecast of the 51st Grammy Awards.
A company spokesperson tells Us Weekly:
“Wrigley is concerned by the serious allegations made against Chris Brown. We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen. However, we have made the decision to suspend the current advertising featuring Brown and any related marketing communications until the matter is resolved.”
Our good friends over at WOOOHA.COM posted that Brown also endorses a dance video game called U-Dance and has a partnership with the New Era hat company. Not to mention, a rising acting career. As we all know, this isn’t going to turn out pretty.
