Bumble Pulls Ads Mocking Celibacy Following Backlash

The dating app apologizes for its controversial campaign, pledges donations to support women and marginalized communities.

Bumble's billboards and commercials suggested celibacy is not a valid lifestyle choice.
The ads were part of a rebranding effort to attract new users but received widespread criticism.
Critics argued the campaign undermined women's autonomy and choices.
Bumble acknowledged the mistake, removed the ads, and issued a public apology.
The company will donate to the National Domestic Violence Hotline and offer ad space to advocacy groups.
