Anheuser-Busch Responds After Dylan Mulvaney Trashes Bud Light
After transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney spoke out this week blasting Bud Light for abandoning him in the midst of the fierce backlash against their partnership, the beer maker is trying to have it both ways while reaffirming its support of the radical LGBT movement.
Bud Light ignited controversy in early April when it sent Mulvaney a specially made can of beer with his face on it, which Mulvaney showed off on Instagram in a sponsored post.
It was just one of many endorsement deals that Mulvaney has lined up since rising to fame doing a cartoonish act as a woman on TikTok — but this one blew up in his face.
The Mulvaney ad shocked beer fans and sparked a boycott that has seriously hurt Bud Light and sent parent company Anheuser-Busch into panic mode.
