Dylan Mulvaney Criticizes Bud Light's Silence Amidst Boycott Backlash

Created: JANUARY 25, 2025

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has publicly condemned Bud Light for their lack of support following the intense consumer backlash triggered by their partnership. Mulvaney's recent social media post expressed disappointment and fear over the escalating "transphobia" experienced since the collaboration.

The controversy began when Mulvaney showcased a personalized Bud Light can on social media, leading to a widespread boycott that significantly impacted the brand's sales and market value. Months later, Mulvaney addressed the situation, claiming Bud Light failed to offer support while the influencer faced online harassment and public ridicule.

In a recent Instagram video, Mulvaney, while affirming a love for beer, criticized the company's silence. "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," Mulvaney stated, arguing that this inaction emboldens transphobic behavior among consumers.

Mulvaney described the personal impact of the boycott, including fear, public ridicule, and a profound sense of loneliness. The influencer emphasized that this experience, while seen from a "privileged perspective," highlights the more severe hardships faced by other members of the transgender community.
