Burger King withdraws ads amid Rumble’s resistance to Russell Brand’s ‘cancel culture mob’.
Brands Pull Ads from Rumble Amid Allegations Against Russell Brand
Several well-known brands, including Burger King, Hello Fresh, and ASOS, are removing their ads from the video platform Rumble following recent allegations against comedian and commentator Russell Brand. With nearly 1.6 million followers on Rumble, Brand has faced accusations of sexual assault, leading YouTube to block him from profiting off its platform.

After Brand announced his intention to continue posting content on Rumble, these brands decided to withdraw their ads. In a video, Brand expressed gratitude to his supporters for standing by him during these allegations and encouraged them to question the information presented to them.
“Rumble has made a clear commitment to free speech, and it will be the primary platform for my content,” Brand stated.
Rumble has shown support for Brand’s ability to earn money from his content on their platform, despite facing scrutiny from the UK Parliament. In a statement, Rumble emphasized their rejection of cancel culture and their commitment to their company’s values and mission.
Multiple reports have detailed allegations of sexual assault against Brand, which he vehemently denies. In response, various outlets, including BBC and Channel 4, have removed episodes featuring Brand, and his comedy special on Paramount+ has been taken down.
While Spotify has decided to keep Brand’s content on its platform, journalist opinions on the matter are divided. Piers Morgan criticizes Big Tech companies for distancing themselves from Brand, calling it “disturbingly Orwellian.” On the other hand, journalist Megyn Kelly urges people to keep an open mind and acknowledges the presence of substantial evidence in this case.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to Burger King for comment.
