Comedian Samantha Bee on Thursday lost two advertisers for her TV show amid backlash for calling Ivanka Trump the c-word.
Autotrader and State Farm insurance said on Thursday that they were dropping their ads from her TBS show “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.”
“The comments expressed by Samantha Bee were offensive and unacceptable and do not reflect the views of our company,” read a statement from Autotrader.
“As a result, we have suspended our sponsorship of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee.”
In a statement obtained by The Wrap, State Farm said, “We have asked TBS to suspend our advertising in the program and are reviewing any future placements.”
The fallout comes after Bee slammed Ivanka Trump with the vulgar word in a rant.
“You know, Ivanka, that’s a beautiful photo of you and your child, but let me just say, one mother to another: Do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless c–t!’” Bee said in the segment.
Bee later apologized for the slur.
“I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night,” Bee said in a statement.
“It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.”
