Restaurant Bonefish Grill Drops Alec Baldwin from Voice Over Ads

Posted on July 1, 2013 by soopermexican 2 Comments

With Alec Baldwin headlong dive back into the chasm of enraged craziness, conservatives on twitter have bombarded those corporations which continue to choose to associate with him. Last year, I posted a list of all the companies that employ him as a spokesperson, wondering aloud why they are proud in doing so. Apparently, not all of them still do:

@mmoore229 To be clear, Alec Baldwin is not our spokesperson.

Baldwin has been a spokesperson for the Bonefish Grill since June of 2011.

I’ve asked them via twitter for a comment on when exactly they parted ways, but haven’t received a response yet.

.@BonefishGrill Alec Baldwin has been your spokesperson since June 2011. When did you fire him? Was it recently? http://t.co/PgkWxWWgiZ

Was it due to his recent brush with homophobia? Stay tuned!!

UPDATE!

This was posted on Bonefish Grill’s facebook page. Still no answer:

UPDATE!

I think Bonefish Grill has been playing a semantics game – while he wasn’t officially their spokesperson, he was employed as a voice-over actor on their ads. I have asked if this is the case, and received no reply.

UPDATE!!

They finally did respond:

@SooperMexican He is not employed by Bonefish Grill as spokesperson, voice-over, character or otherwise.

But this doesn’t answer my question – if they had employed him, when did they stop and why? Feel free to ask them via twitter, my gringos.
