You know *that* Peloton ad that everyone’s talking about? Now the stars of the ad are now speaking out.
Sean Hunter is the actor who plays the husband who gifts his skinny wife an exercise bike. In a recent interview, the actor and teacher said, “People turned down a pretty dark path and it turned into a nasty thing. Once something goes viral, and it turns viral, people jump on that negative bandwagon and start to create any dialogue they want.”
Meanwhile, Monica Ruiz issued a statement through her agency, LA Talent. “I was happy to accept a job opportunity earlier this year from Peloton and the team was lovely to work with,” she said. “Although I’m an actress, I am not quite comfortable being in spotlight and I’m terrible on social media. So to say I was shocked and overwhelmed by the attention this week (especially the negative) is an understatement.”
