Peloton’s response to this controversy

Peloton’s spokesperson countered the allegations, according to Fox News. The spokesperson asserted that the decision to pull ads was grounded in content misalignment with their “brand safety guidelines” rather than an objection to Kennedy’s presence. The guidelines reportedly restrict association with political, vulgar, or explicit content, among other categories.

Moreover, Peloton clarified that their advertising relationship with Von persisted; only the specific Kennedy-related episode faced the axe due to political content. As of now, the company hasn’t made any remarks about Dana White’s recent move.
