A wave of advertisers announced they would pull spots from "Hannity" following the host's interview on Friday with Roy Moore in which they discussed allegations that Moore engaged in sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old and pursued relationships with other teenagers when he was in his 30s.
Amid the left-wing media watchdog Media Matters urging sponsors to pull ads, Keurig, Realtor.com, Eloquii, 23andMe, Nature's Bounty, and E-Trade all announced over the weekend that they had no plans to advertise on Hannity's Fox News show.
More recently, brands such as Mercedes-Benz have jumped on the bandwagon, even as others such as MyPillow remain unfazed.
Business Insider asked several other brands who have advertised on Hannity's show over the past few months about their stances and whether they plan to do so in the future. Here are their responses.

Keurig's CEO, meanwhile, has apologized for 'taking sides' as conservatives have been smashing its machines to defend Sean Hannity. In a memo obtained Monday by The Washington Post, CEO Bob Gamgort called the coffee marketer's decision to explain its plan to "pause" its advertising with Hannity's show "highly unusual" and "outside of company protocols."
As of Monday evening, Reddi-wip and Hebrew National had also pulled advertising from Sean Hannity's show. The brands' parent company, Conagra Brands, says that the decision to cut advertising during the program was made months earlier, though it hadn't formally been announced.
