Appliance company Bosch has distanced itself from its depiction in the Season 3 finale of The White Lotus, where an embezzler attempts to poison his family using a Bosch blender. In a statement, a BSH spokesperson clarified that the product featured was not provided or placed by the company, but rather purchased by the production team during filming abroad.
The Blender: Not Available in North America
The specific model used in the show is not available for purchase in North America and can be obtained elsewhere globally. The gesture stands out as a stark contrast to Duke University’s disavowal of the series, which was critical of the show’s portrayal of mental health issues and use of their brand.
Duke University Takes Stance
In response to the scene, Frank Tramble, Duke’s vice president for communications, marketing, and public affairs, stated that the show uses their brand without permission and promotes imagery that is “troubling” and goes against their values. The university has since used its own brand to promote mental health awareness.
The Controversy
The scene has sparked debate over whether Bosch should have been involved in such a portrayal. Some find it humorous, while others see it as a misrepresentation of the company’s values.
