Hours after the news of his November arrest broke,Jeep pulled a Super Bowl adfeaturing the legendary singer, telling PEOPLE that even though it couldn’t “substantiate” the reason for his arrest, it would pause the commercial from being played until more details are verified.
“It would be inappropriate for us to comment on the details of a matter we have only read about and we cannot substantiate,” a company spokespersontold PEOPLE. “But it’s also right that we pause our Big Game commercial until the actual facts can be established. Its message of community and unity is as relevant as ever. As is the message that drinking and driving can never be condoned.”
