that it caused the company’s market
value to drop by $942 million. .
In an interview with ‘The New York Times,’ Reynolds
explained his decision to cast Ruiz, saying he felt he
could “relate” to the alienation she was feeling. .
As an actor, I can certainly relate to
creating a piece of content or being
part of something that’s not well-received,
and how alienating that can feel, Ryan Reynolds, via 'NYT'.
Although his ad ultimately made fun of the Peloton
commercial, Reynolds said they proceeded with
“immense respect” towards Ruiz and her situation.
We had immense respect for any reservations
she might have had. We don’t want to make
the situation any worse for her, Ryan Reynolds, via 'NYT'.
Ruiz herself issued a statement
following the release of both
commercials, saying she was
thankful for Reynolds.
When Ryan and his production team called
about Aviation Gin, they helped me find some
humor in the situation. I am grateful to both
Peloton and now Aviation Gin for the work and
giving me the opportunity to do what I love to do, Monica Ruiz, via Deadline
