There won't be a Jerry at Ben & Jerry's anymore. Jerry Greenfield, one of the ice cream brand's co-founders, said late Tuesday that he was leaving the company after 47 years. Greenfield criticized the ice-cream brand's parent company, Unilever, in his announcement, saying that it had silenced Ben & Jerry's activism on social and political issues. "It's with a broken heart that I've decided I can no longer, in good conscience, and after 47 years, remain an employee at Ben & Jerry's," Greenfield wrote in a statement shared by his cofounder, Ben Cohen, on X. "I am resigning from the company Ben and I started back in 1978. This is one of the hardest and most painful decisions I've ever made."
