Jennifer Welch Just Made It WORSE! Sponsors Keep Fleeing Her
Jennifer Welch had an opportunity to apologize, let the story die and stop the destruction of her own podcast.
She somehow made everything worse.
The backlash began after Welch and her “I’ve Had It” co-host Angie “Pumps” Sullivan laughed for roughly 30 seconds at a post saying Charlie Kirk should be dug up and killed again. They eventually acknowledged that they should not have laughed, expressed regret and announced a donation to Everytown.
Welch has now explained that the apology was not intended for Turning Point USA or the conservatives criticizing her. She called TPUSA “losers,” described the backlash as a pathetic attempt to cancel the show and insisted that she would continue attacking the organization.
She also declared that the podcast still has plenty of advertisers, is not going anywhere and has gained nearly 40,000 new followers during the controversy.
Unfortunately for Welch, the advertisers keep leaving.
Jones Road Beauty told TMZ it was no longer a sponsor. Ethos, Honeylove and Ember Mugs confirmed that they had ended their advertising relationships, while ZipRecruiter said it had no future advertisements booked on the show. Those confirmations join the growing list of companies already distancing themselves from the podcast.
Then the hosts turned directly to their remaining audience. Welch encouraged viewers who wanted to support the show financially to purchase YouTube memberships or join the podcast’s Substack—effectively asking fans to replace the advertising money disappearing during the backlash.
Welch wanted everyone to believe that the apology proved she understood the problem. Her latest response instead turned the entire disaster into another political fight, insulted the people criticizing her and gave sponsors even more reason to run.
We break down the double-down, the latest sponsor departures, Welch’s financial appeal to viewers and how one disgusting joke became a completely self-inflicted business catastrophe.
