Subway Cuts Ties with Longtime Pitchman as Plea Deal in Child Porn Case Nears
by Ross A. Lincoln
August 18, 2015

Things are getting worse for the man who once stood as a symbol of do-it-yourself dieting and the face of one of the most successful fast food companies in the world.

Following widespread news first reported by local Indianapolis station Fox 59 that Jared Fogle will plead guilty to charges of possessing child pornography, Subway has severed all ties with former pitchman.

The company issued a terse statement confirming this development this afternoon on Twitter:

"We no longer have a relationship with Jared and have no further comment."

The news caps off a terrible month for the Fogle that began in July, when the FBI raided the corporate mascot’s home and seized several of his computers. That raid stemmed from the May 4 arrest of Russell Taylor, former executive director of Fogle’s children’s health charity, on child pornography charges. Taylor was formally charged July 6.

At the time Fogle’s house was raided, Subway temporarily suspended its relationship with him, saying in a statement that “we are shocked about the news and believe it is related to a prior investigation of a former Jared Foundation employee… We are very concerned and will be monitoring the situation closely. We don’t have any more details at this point.”

Fogle first gained widespread fame in 2000, after news of his so-called “Subway diet” led the company to hire him as a spokesman for its lower-calorie offerings.

Though his presence in Subway advertising declined in 2008 following the introduction of the $5 Footlong campaign, he continued to make occasional appearances in commercials, and in public for the chain.

During his tenure, Fogle became a pop culture touchstone, with references in shows like Comedy Central’s "South Park" and Fox’s "American Dad!", and even a cameo on an episode of NBC’s "Community".

I always knew there was something that I didn't like about that guy.

MrCleveland · 08-19-2015, 01:28 PM

I think by the end of this year Jared will look like this again....

Former Subway Pitchman Jared Fogle Charged in Child Porn Case – Update
by Ross A. Lincoln
August 19, 2015

UPDATE with charges, details of pending plea deal:

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle was formally charged this morning in Indianapolis with multiple counts including engaging in sex with minors and possessing explicit images.

He’ll be required to pay restitution of $1.4 million, or $100,000 per victim, and may face up to 20 years in prison. He has reportedly worked out a deal that will see him serve 12 years, and has notified the court of his intent to plead guilty today.

What a sicko. Here's a guy who had everything going for him, but his perverse desires were too strong. They'll have a field day with him in prison.

ABlairican Pie · 08-20-2015, 07:05 PM

I certainly hope that Subway can recover its image and reputation from this pathetic, sordid debacle.

I always thought Jared looked too geeky--and what I want to know is, how does anyone REALLY drop all that weight by eating sandwiches with a lot of bread? One of the first things fitness told me five years ago when I went on a plan to drop weight and work out was to drop bread from my diet and stick with vegetables. Of course, we can't entirely get away from bread, but I've very significantly cut down on it. Most of my grain intake comes from a bowl of old-fashioned oatmeal in the morning.

Every once in a while, I will buy a flatbread sandwich from Subway, though. Lots of vegetables and beef or chicken.

I've now boycotted Subway because they had a pedophile for a spokesperson...Fogel will now have $.05 Footlongs now...if you know what I'm saying!

PS-He should wear a Red P until Cleveland wins a Championship...a-la "Scarlet Letter"!

I'm not boycotting Subway. It wasn't like he worked behind the counter, making the sandwiches.

P.S. My heart REALLY goes out to all of his victims. No doubt they will be in Heaven with God when this life is finally over.

If Subway had known he was a pedophile before hiring him then I would agree but apparently they had no idea like the rest of us so I can't fault them. I read that Fogle's wife is seeking a divorce and I hope that she and her children can move on with their lives and distance themselves as far away from this nutcase as possible.

Vahan · 08-20-2015, 08:48 PM

I wouldn't doubt this moron prays to Satan every day.

I wouldn't boycott Subway for what hardly anyone knew until recently. I'll buy their subs, but I would like to see what they would do to replenish their business.

Janice · 08-20-2015, 10:40 PM

Boycotting Subway is ridiculous. Anyone who has read the story knows that Subway found about his crimes after the fact. They cut ties with Jared asap. Those who are boycotting the store now probably rarely ate there in the first place, if at all.

This fool has two little babies at home, born in 2011 and 2013. He's worth 15 million. What an idiot! He deserves everything he has coming.
