Trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney slams Bud Light for lack of support, fears leaving home.

Transgender Influencer Calls Out Bud Light in Powerful Instagram Post

Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney took to Instagram on Thursday to address Bud Light in a heartfelt video.

The post comes several months after the beer company partnered with Mulvaney, a biological man who identifies as a woman. To commemorate their 365th day of “girlhood,” Bud Light sent Mulvaney a special beer can featuring their face.

“This can is more than just a can to me. It deserves to be displayed in a museum, behind bulletproof glass,” Mulvaney expressed, although admitting that it is currently lost in some hidden place.

Despite the attention and controversy surrounding the partnership, Mulvaney revealed that Bud Light has not reached out to them.

“I should have made this video months ago, but I was scared. Scared of the backlash and feeling personally guilty for what transpired,” Mulvaney confessed. “I patiently waited for things to get better, but surprise — they haven’t really. And I was waiting for the brand to reach out, but they never did. I’ve been scared to leave my house.”

In the video, which was also shared on TikTok, Mulvaney is seen enjoying a glass of beer. They emphasized their love for beer and how it is enjoyed by many in the LGBT community.

“For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse than not hiring a trans person at all,” Mulvaney passionately stated. “Because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want.”

Last week, Bud Light broke their Twitter silence to address the controversy surrounding Mulvaney. The beer company, owned by Anheuser-Busch, had gone dark on the platform since April 14.

Bud Light has recently launched a anheuser-busch-ceo-to-go-on-tour-soliciting-criticism/” title=”Anheuser-Busch CEO embarks on tour seeking feedback.”>summer ad campaign, with Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth embarking on a national tour to listen to consumers. As a result of the Mulvaney promotion, senior marketing officials involved were placed on leave, leading to the company severing ties with a third-party advertising agency.
