The CEO of MyPillow lashed out at Walmart after bosses took his products off their shelves.
Mike Lindell has blasted one of his executive vice presidents for “cancelling” him because they said his items “no longer get ratings above four” from customers.
The businessman said he was so angry that he slammed his computer and ended the call.
Walmart said even though they were pulled from in-store shelves, they were still available online.
Lindell fumed yesterday about being “cancelled” by the company with Steve Bannon on his Real America’s Voice show.
He said: “It’s just me and the executive vice president of Walmart. Suddenly he says: “We will never have MyPillow again”.
‘He said, ‘You don’t get the rating of 4’. I say, “What rating system?” I say, “What are you talking about?”
“I said, ‘You know, bots and trolls attack all the time.’ ‘He says, ‘Well, no, we’re canceling MyPillow’.
Lindell claimed Walmart’s executive vice president — who he didn’t name — had a grin on his face during the call.
He continued, “I said, ‘Goodbye, you’re going to be all over the news tomorrow,’ and I smashed the computer.”
Walmart confirmed last night that it’s ripping MyPillow products off its shelves, but added that they can still be purchased online.
A spokesperson said, “While we no longer stock them in stores, MyPillow products are still available at Walmart.com.”

Lindell has been embroiled in controversy over the past few months for his outspoken rants about politics and business.
He returned to Twitter earlier this year, more than a year after being banned from the site for spreading election misinformation.
But the businessman was quickly resuspended just hours later when social media bosses realized he had rejoined.
Lindell was banned from Twitter in late January 2021 for spreading unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 presidential election results were fraudulent.
The social media company said at the time those tweets violated its civic integrity policy, launched in September 2020, to combat disinformation online.

But after the news that Elon Musk took control, Lindell created a new account and wrote: “Hi everyone, I’m back on Twitter.
‘My only account is @MikeJLindell!’ he wrote in the tweet at 1:25 p.m. ‘Please RT and FOLLOW to SPREAD THE WORD.’
The tweet also included a video of him apparently on a private jet, saying: “Hi everyone on Twitter, this is Mike Lindell. I’m here to tell you about my new account.”
He then warned his fans about fake accounts posing as him.
Lindell said: “So we opened this account. Please share with everyone you know. Let everyone you know know – so if they take it down we can tweet it here on Twitter. And thanks for the help.’
Within about five minutes, Lindell’s new account was followed by over 20,000 users and he amassed more than 37,000 followers before his account was removed.
A spokesperson for Twitter said the account was permanently suspended for violating the platform’s ban-evasion rules.
