Ben & Jerry's WOKE CEO fired

If this isn't the icing on the cake, then I don't know what is. Ben & Jerry's woke CEO was fired over political activism according to news reports coming out today. There seems to be a legal dispute going on between Ben & Jerry's and their parent company, Unilever, according to NBC News. The breaking news story about Ben & Jerry's CEO being fired also said:

The allegation was made in an amended filing Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Ben & Jerry's initially filed a lawsuit in November accusing Unilever of silencing its public statements in support of Palestinian refugees amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

 

According to the amended complaint, Ben & Jerry's CEO David Stever was fired on March 3 after the parent company repeatedly threatened personnel "should they fail to comply with Unilever’s efforts to silence the Social Mission."

Stever was chastised by Unilever for repeatedly acquiescing to the board "by allowing Ben & Jerry’s to post statements the Independent Board had collaboratively worked on with Ben & Jerry’s management," the suit says.

 

Replacing Stever for working with the board to promote its social causes "is antithetical to its contractual obligations," the suit says.

 

NBC News reached out to Unilever, Ben & Jerry's, and Stever for comment on Wednesday. According to a letter filed to the court, Unilever is expected to file a motion to dismiss.
