MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, known for his support of former President Donald Trump and his controversial election fraud claims, recently revealed that one of his ventures has lost the support of an online merchant server company. During an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room program, Lindell shared that the Lindell Recovery Network, an initiative that assists individuals struggling with addiction, had its support dropped by the merchant server company.
In a phone call with the company, Lindell claims he was told, “We don’t want to be associated with your name.” This news came as a surprise to Lindell, who spoke about the setback during the program, stating, “This just happened one hour ago.” He expressed his frustration and the additional financial burden he will now have to bear for the recovery network.
This is not the first time MyPillow and Lindell have faced business setbacks. Last month, Fox News briefly dropped MyPillow as an advertiser, although the reasons behind the decision were unclear. However, a source close to the matter later explained that it was due to unpaid advertisement fees. Despite this, MyPillow ads returned to the network in February once payment was made.
Lindell’s support for Trump and his false claims of election fraud have made him a controversial figure, leading to the loss of business partnerships. Major retailers such as Kohl’s, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, and Slumberland Furniture decided to discontinue selling MyPillow products due to low demand and negative public perception.
While Lindell believes these setbacks are a result of “cancel culture,” others argue that it is the consequence of his political pursuits and association with Trump’s unfounded claims. The ongoing controversies surrounding Lindell and MyPillow highlight the challenges faced by individuals and their businesses when their personal beliefs and actions become intertwined with their brand reputation.
