Mary J. Blige, Burger King Say Controversial Ad was Unfinished

Finally, we’ve got a statement from Mary J. Blige about the ad she made for Burger King’s chicken snack wraps, which sparked a ton of controversy and backlash.

In a statement (that doesn’t appear to be on her website) Blige, says the ad was unfinished and doesn’t include a dream sequence that had previously been discussed. “But, if you’re a Mary fan, you have to know I would never allow an unfinished spot like the one you saw to go out,” she said.
