Molly Baz, who is pregnant, appeared in the ad, which ran in Times Square.

"It's super disheartening and infuriating to me that my, kind of, first public foray into being a public mother was one that was deemed inappropriate," Baz said.

"Brex deeply believes in Swehl's mission; therefore, we approved the creative on our side and secured the ad space so they could run it in Times Square. In fact, we buy billboards for many of our customers through our Brex card rewards program - most of whom wouldn't be able to access them otherwise. We had been running the Swehl ad for several days when we received a message from Clear Channel noting that the ad was 'flagged for review,'" Brex said in a statement.

Brex also told ABC News it initially "misinterpreted" Clear Channel's message to mean that the ad "had to be removed, and communicated this to Swehl," which subsequently "provided a different ad, which was rotated in."ABC News reached out to Clear Channel for comment but did not receive a response.
