“We do not intend to continue cooperation with the show and do not plan to integrate into future releases,” a Yandex.Lavka representative told RBC.
As noted, the decision to refuse cooperation was made after the release of August 31, in which the frontman of the group The Hatters Yuri Muzychenko was asked to leave an offensive comment on the white-red-white flag of protesters in Belarus on social networks, or a comment insulting Khabarovsk and its residents ...
Muzychenko refused to perform both tasks.
The refusal to cooperate with the show was also reported by Unilever Russia.
“We intend to make every effort to continue to avoid integrations that run counter to company values and damage the reputation of our brands.
The first such step will be the refusal of Unilever Russia from further cooperation with the transmission of Comment Out in any form, ”the company said in a statement on the Telegram channel on September 3.
The authors of Comment Out, commenting on the situation, told the publication that they understand partners and respect their position.
“Even when they escape from the ship through the hole,” they said.
In addition, a statement was posted on the Chicken Curry YouTube channel where the show is published.
“Not a single person in our team thinks this is funny.
This disgusting, shameful, vile (and other negative words) comment was created deliberately, ”the statement said.
They emphasized that this is an opportunity to speak out on the topic and listen to an adequate opinion.
“Of course with the hope that it will be diametrically opposite.
We create an extreme situation in which the true opinion of a person always appears.
We are not promoting our position - we are working for the participant, ”added the authors of the project.
According to RBC, representatives of Magnit and Mars also announced their refusal to cooperate with the show.
