Chris Brown Suspended as Doublemint Gum Spokesman
Published January 08, 2015
Wrigley says it's suspending ad campaigns featuring Chris Brown as its spokesman for Doublemint gum.
The company stopped short of saying they will drop the troubled R&B star completely.
The campaign features Brown dancing with the gum to re-written lyrics of his popular song "Forever."
A company statement expresses concern about what it calls "serious allegations made against Chris Brown."
Brown was arrested Sunday night for an alleged battery on a woman, and, as a result, canceled his Grammy performance.
Wrigely said it would suspend any current advertising or any related marketing until the situation is resolved, adding that the 19-year-old should be "afforded the same due process as any citizen."
