Johnston & Murphy, a ritzy shoe retailer, decided to pull all ads featuring porn-addled David Duchovny. Duchovny, 48-year-old star of "Californication" and "The X-Files," entered rehab last week because of a sex addiction. The NYC shoe store quickly removed all of the Duchovny ads and a store employee told the NY Post, "We got the call from corporate this morning to take him down."
This was a huge ad campaign for the retailer, and just started last month. They even used the tagline, "Johnston, Murphy, & Duchovny."
It's a big reversal, considering the press release Johnston & Murphy put out about the campaign. Part of it reads:
"We’re thrilled to have David Duchovny as part of our ad campaign," Jason Dasal, vp-marketing at Johnston & Murphy, Nashville, Tenn., said in a statement. "David embodies success and confidence, along with a great sense of style, communicating the ideal image for the Johnston & Murphy brand."
Oh, and he loves the sexy-sexy time. But hey, who doesn't? I guess people that love sex don't need shoes or something.
