Mila Kunis Sparks Jim Beam Boycott With ‘Mike Pence’ Planned Parenthood Stunt
By Dave Goldiner November 5, 2017
Mila Kunis may have landed herself in some sippin’ trouble with her pro-choice stance.
The actress has sparked calls for a boycott of Jim Beam bourbon, which she endorses, over her campaign of donations to Planned Parenthood in the name of staunch pro-lifer Mike Pence.
“It’s not so much a prank as much as I disagreed with some of the stuff that Pence was doing,” she told Conan O’Brien on his late night show.
The decision didn’t go over great with some of Pence’s whiskey-loving fans — especially those who couldn’t spell the four-letter word in the brand.

She’s far from alone — more than 20,000 people have responded to the pro-choice group’s call for donations in the veep’s name.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
