MyPillow is under fire, as its controversial CEO and founder Mike Lindell continues to push baseless theories about voter fraud. 

Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl's confirmed last week that they planned to cut ties with MyPillow, citing poor sales. Fintech startup Affirm has also cut ties. According to Lindell, numerous other stores including H-E-B, Kroger, and BJ's have told MyPillow they will also stop selling the company's products. 

Lindell called companies' decisions to cut ties "100% cancel culture." The CEO is facing a legal threat from voting-technology company Dominion tied to his false allegations that President Joe Biden stole the election. A report provided to Insider by Lindell that he said backed his claims was unsubstantiated and ultimately fails to support his allegations that the election was rigged.

"They were afraid of being boycotted by customers because they live in fear of all these attack groups," Lindell told Insider of companies cutting ties. "And they're not their customers. What's going to happen to them now is that all the real customers are going to be very upset."

Here is what companies still offer MyPillow, as well as what brands have cut ties with the controversial pillow brand. 

Bed Bath & Beyond told Insider it was dropping My Pillow as part of a plan to discontinue "underperforming items and brands."

Lindell did not respond to Insider's request for comment on QVC's decision. The CEO spent much of 2020 campaigning for the president, sparking controversy several times, including when he promoted an untested cure for COVID-19.
