Chipotle scrambles after ‘Supergirl’ star says he ‘almost died’
The burrito chain sees its stock price plummet after Jeremy Jordan posts an Instagram video from a hospital bed. It has responded with care and diligent follow-up to quash the claim.
In an Instagram debut like no other, Jeremy Jordan rocked Chipotle’s world.
The Supergirl star has leveled claims at the Mexican-inspired eatery that his last Chipotle meal sent him to the hospital and—in the star’s own words—nearly killed him. However, the evidence for Jordan’s claim has been scant, and Chipotle is pushing back.
On Thursday night, the Supergirl actor and Broadway star posted his first-ever Instagram story, dedicating it to be a PSA about why people shouldn’t go to Chipotle.
“I know I’ve advocated for them in the past, but they’re terrible,” says Jordan, who looks fairly pale laying in a hospital bed and showing viewers the IV in his arm. “I, as you can see, am in the hospital and I have fluids in my arm because the food did not agree with me and I almost died.”
The actor and singer has previously called out Chipotle for causing gastrointestinal distress. The performer has parodied the chain’s food, eventually endorsing the fast casual fare.
