Fox TV Stations CEO Shares Regret for Kanye West Super Bowl Ad: ‘We Strongly Condemn Any Form of Antisemitism’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Fox TV Stations CEO Jack Abernethy has responded to the local Kanye West Super Bowl ad: 'We strongly condemn any form of antisemitism.'
The spot caused outrage as West has been regularly posting antisemitic messages on his social media while also proclaiming himself to be a nazi — and then began selling a t-shirt with a swastika on the website that had been advertised. “We regret that these commercials aired in these three markets, and we strongly condemn any form of antisemitism,” Abernethy wrote in his email to Fox TV Stations employees. The ad, which was presented as a legitimate online apparel site before and during the airing of the Super Bowl, was switched at some point afterwards, and completely outside of our stations control respondents to the commercials were redirected toward the marketing of a wholly appalling product.
