Alec Baldwin Wegmans Commerical Pulled Following Customer Complaints


The New York-based supermarket chain Wegmans has pulled its Alec Baldwin commercials, following complaints from a few dozen customers.

Baldwin starred in the commercials, produced in 2010, after he mentioned on “The Late Show With David Letterman” that his mother will never leave Upstate New York because she loves the supermarket.

Last month, Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight after he refused to turn off his cell phone – on which he was playing “Words With Friends.” According to the airline, Baldwin was extremely rude to the flight crew, who they said were just doing their jobs and not singling the 30 Rock actor out.

Wegmans planned to run the holiday-themed Baldwin commercials for a few weeks over the last holiday season. Wegmans said customers began complaining about the ads after the American Airlines incident.

“We did get customer complaints because it was all timed with the incidents,” said spokeswoman Jo Natale. “We always listen to customers. We didn’t get hundreds of complaints, but a few dozen.”

Wegmans said it ended the ads a week earlier than planned and added that the company has no ongoing relationship or contract with Baldwin.
