Hanes Suspended Charlie Sheen Commercials on December 28th
People is reporting that Hanes suspended its Charlie Sheen commercial after news of his arrest for domestic violence. Charlie Sheen appears in the commercial with basketball star Michael Jordan.
The ads for the "Comfortsoft" line of Hanes undershirts were last scheduled to air on Jan. 1 of this year, according to a Hanesbrands spokesperson, but after the arrest most of the commercials disappeared.
"We suspended the commercials on Dec. 28," spokesman Matthew Hall says. "Some were seen on the 25th, 26th, 27th as we could not reach the networks over the holiday weekend."
Hanes has some Charlie Sheen ads that will be running in print magazines. Hanes was unable to cancel these ads. Here is the suspended tv commercial.
