VS.
We have been inundated with emails regarding Jackie Warner’s character on Bravo’s show Workout. As you have read in earlier posts things have gone bad for Jackie with her fans.
Looks as though her anti-fans have gone so far as to contact the show’s main sponsor, Gatorade. The anti-fans petitioned to request that Gatorade/Propel no longer support the show.
This is the response Gatorade/Propel has sent in response to the ex fans of Workout:
On behalf of The Gatorade Company, we want to thank you for contacting us and sharing your concerns about the relationship Propel has with the TV show The Workout, specifically around the incident where one of Jackie Warner’s trainers makes a comment to Jackie about a client’s breasts. What made this exchange even more troubling was the discovery the woman being discussed is a breast cancer survivor.
We have watched the episode in question, and we too were surprised and saddened to see the conversations unfold between these trainers. Since this episode aired, we have heard from many viewers of The Workout who are also consumers of our product, and we understand and relate to your disappointment in what occurred.
We have notified Bravo we no longer wish to be associated with The Workout and will be pulling our commercials. Furthermore, we will not renew our sponsorship of this program in subsequent seasons. Please note, because this season’s episodes, and past seasons’ episodes, have already been filmed and edited, moving forward you may still continue to see Propel used in the show.
We take very seriously the concerns you have shared, and we understand why there is discomfort for our consumers with an association of Propel and The Workout, given the unfortunate events that unfolded during this week’s episode. We hope our immediate actions send a clear message to the community that we greatly value what you have to say, agree with your sentiments, and appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with us.

For the record, we watch the show and have many friends on it. This is unfortunate for Jackie, in a real life setting she really is a cool lesbo chick who likes to party and have a good time.
You can skip to the end and leave a response. Pinging is currently not allowed.

For the record, a friend of mine who is a fan of the workout show, saw Jackie at the Abbey one day last summer, and very nicely said, “Hi Jackie, Luv the show” and he said she was total rude to him and gave him a look, so this season is just confirming what my friend said last summer. Unlike you guys, reality fame has seemed to change Ms Warner

just surfed the web and on askalesbian.com jamie eason states in a letter that was on bodybuilder.com that jackie was the one doing all of the trash talking, not her manager.
I heard that there were 3 people in the room not just jackie & lisa. The third was a member of production- Leads to believe that that 1 second clip of jacki & lisa wasnt even the actual conversation-the real conversation wasnt filmed. So its basically words against words. Jakcie blog differs from what peeler & lisa & jamie say. ODD?There is no footage & nothing to demand us viewers to see. Lucky jackie.it’s obvious jamie has no grudge against lisa because she nails jackie for not even apologizing. Which lisa did. jamie did leave out that there was a member of the production crew in the office-who made a nasty comment. lisa did in fact comment on her breast but not negatively because all jamie states is that she “chimed” in. that word doesnt seem strong enough to convict her of trash tallking. jamie must have accepted lisa’s apology because lisa and peeler are still friends and filmed some stuff AFTER the he and jackie fell out. I find it hard to believe that if lisa in fact trashed peelers best friend that he would have anything to do with her.Either way its wrong to talk crap, but we all do it.Lisa probably couldve gone along w/jackie but didn’t so my previous opinion of her being an ass kisser seems to go out the door. Remember she said she doesnt take shit from anyone including jackie- that aint the sound of an ass kisser-sounds like someone who respects themselves. Whether we like her characcter or not, BRAVO did.
I agree with propel and the decision and will join the petition. i dont agree with firing of peeler and the the bashing of lisa.

I am client of Jackie’s and I can tell you that she is an amazing person that truly cares about people. I will no longer be drinking Gatorade or Propel. She would never do or say anything derogatory about a client. I think maybe B.P was trying to set her up on camera. I promise if all the people hating on JW had a chance to meet her they would change their minds. She rocks! Rebecca you always make me laugh!

I caught a rerun over the weekend…they had blurred a Propel bottle in one of the Sky Labber’s hand. Say “goodbye” Jackie!
JASON says:
I also ran into Jackie at The Abbey and commented on how much I liked her show. She was incredibly rude back and acted like she was Madonna or something being stocked by paparazzi. I used to like the show, but it’s pretty one note and I think she needs to get off the air now. Bye bye jackie
Tim says:
When some people get their own show, they seem to become so conceitted and wrapped up in the limelight that they forget that they used to be a NOBODY. Hence the case of Jackie Warner. She truly is evil and rude and thinks ownerhip=RESPECT..Sorry you lost all self respect..I plan on buying more PRO PEL and giving it to Cancer survivors…TD
MIGUEL says:
C’mon. We all talk sh*t. If she was talking about her fake boobs so -be-it. Now, if she was talking about them AFTER she new she was a cancer survivor, then that’s a whole other story.
I also don’ t agree with the whole DIVA attitiude.

soooo glad to hear propel pulled their ads…. jackie might be a cool lezbo chick…and u guyrs r some cool faggots
Stephen says:
Jackie Warner is an insufferable, no class, low rent, gutter c*nt. The only difference between her and Rosie O’Donnel is about 175lbs.
Julie says:
If you guys know her (LA RagMag), can’t you talk some sense into her? I liked the show up until this season. If she would just have apologized, this thing never would have snowballed. That’s what people are reacting to the most, I think….she lied and covered it up….if she had just copped to it and apologized, maybe turned it around into an episode about how she didn’t realize she’s changed, she’d have been okay.
What the heck was Bravo’s production team thinking? Why would you allow a show to self-destruct like this? I am not condoning what happened, but this episode obviously sank the show and the production manager should have got charge of it. Why would you not try and fix it when you could tell in viewing the episode what a trainwreck it would become? Someone explain reality television and producers to me!
Matthew says:
Here is the thing…everyone talks smack. However, in the case of Jackie, she needs to understand that she is under a microscope that she herself created with her show.
Because of this, she needs to watch her opinions till after the season is filled. She is lucky that it was just one sponsor and not clients.

SoyJoy sponsor has pulled their ads as well and is looking into the situation.
