Dylan Mulvaney: Bud Light not standing by me worse ‘than not hiring a trans person at all’
by Lauren Sforza - 06/29/23 2:50 PM ET

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, in a video posted to TikTok Thursday, addressed the ongoing anti-trans controversy over her partnership with Bud Light, accusing the company of not supporting her or even reaching out after the conservative backlash.

“For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse in my opinion than not hiring a trans person at all because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want,” Mulvaney said in her TikTok video. “And the hate doesn’t end with me.”

Bud Light, which is owned by Anheuser-Busch, partnered with Mulvaney in April on an Instagram ad that included her posing with a personalized beer can. The ad immediately drew criticism from conservatives who accused the beer company of pushing a pro-LGBTQ agenda and resulted in boycotts of the beer, which recently fell from its spot as the top-selling beer brand in the U.S. for the first time in more than 20 years.

The company also faced criticism from Mulvaney’s supporters and LGBTQ advocates who felt it did not stand firm in its backing of the influencer. Mulvaney also reiterated that members of the LGBTQ community are customers of Bud Light as well.

She said she decided to address the situation Thursday because she has endured “more bullying and transphobia” than she “could have ever imagined.” She added that she had wanted to wait to address it until the situation had calmed down but that it never did.

He's a guy, The Hill. It's okay to say "he."

"It" is just looking for more money to shut up.

[Kamaji]

Boo-hoo-hoo.

Just how much more money should Butt Light lose standing by you Dude?

They lose more each time it speaks. Should pay it to shut up. It would be far less expensive.

Gee, if they're really such good Bud Light customers, maybe there aren't quite so many of the alphabet crew as they like to proclaim.

Either way, Mr. Mulvaney is definitely full of something other than beer.

In response, an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson said in a statement to The Hill that the company remains “committed to the programs and partnerships we have forged over decades with organizations across a number of communities, including those in the LGBTQ+ community.”

All I needed to know... hope you fall flat on your face AB.

Actually, he’s right

He’s obviously suffering from some form of mental illness. It’s doubtful that he went to AB and demanded to be their spokestranny.

They made a business decision to use him as their spokestranny. So they put him out there in the public, and when it bombed, AB threw him under the bus
