MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has pulled his company's ads from Fox News after it refused to run a commercial linked to claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Lindell, 60, told the Wall Street Journal that he asked Fox News to run a commercial promoting the cyber symposium he plans to live stream next month.
The staunch Trump ally told the outlet that the commercial wouldn't specifically mention claims of election fraud. However, he said the symposium 'will prove the 2020 election was stolen' from then-President Donald Trump.
Fox News confirmed to DailyMail.com that the network had refused to run the commercial.
'It's unfortunate Mr. Lindell has chosen to pause his commercial time on FOX News given the level of success he's experienced in building his brand through advertising on the number one cable news network,' a Fox News spokesperson told DailyMail.com.
Advertisements for MyPillow were still running on Fox News as of late Thursday night. It was not immediately clear when the ads will stop running.
MyPillow is among Fox News's largest advertisers - and spent almost $50million on Fox News in 2020, the Wall Street Journal reported. Lindell told the outlet that, so far, the company has dropped $19million to air commercials on the network this year.

Go Mike! Let Fox be relegated to running those woke Army recruitment ads... and ads for Soy Milk as well. Both suit them.
It’s time for a new MyPillow and I don’t even like them!
We love his pillows.....we even travel with them!
Maybe they can revive David Hogg’s pillow company.
Why wouldn’t they run his ad, it’s harmless.
My Pillow is an ant-woke device?...I’ll take a dozen!
Buy them, or other of his products, as gifts. Christmas isn’t far off now.
We bought two pillows. Hubby isn’t a fan, but I love mine.
The robes look comfy.
His money. His choice. Fox's loss.
i agree, the pillow is lousy! I gave mine to my dog.
Fox News organization, among many others, has taken to clapping their hands over their ears, dancing from foot to foot, loudly singing “LA-LA-LA!” until the annoying voices go away.
But so do a lot of other folks.
Bravo! Love this man!
I never looked into his other products. Thanks.
He has lots of stuff. If you do order, when checking out use the code WARROOM for a very good discount.
The other night on Gutfeld he said, in so many words, out loud that Biden is only President because of fraud.
That hits close to home with Fox because Fox and (not your) friends are complicit up to their eyeballs in the election fraud and the betrayal of a sitting President AND the country.
Great news. Fox News is the enemy and doesn’t deserve any viewership from conservatives.
More layoffs on the way at Fox without Lindell’s $50 million in advertising revenue coming in.
Fox News takes democrats bait on elections but they get to go to their parties.
I like the pillows too. Easy to fluff up...even after months of use.
