Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney says he received no support from Bud Light during backlash
"I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me, but they never did,” Mulvaney said.
Transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney said on Thursday that he received no support from Bud Light after a wave of backlash over the partnership they had.
Mulvaney finally addressed the massive controversy in an Instagram post. He took a shot at Bud Light for ghosting him amid the backlash.
"I was waiting for the brand to reach out to me, but they never did,” he said during the video, referring to the beer brand.
He also said that he experienced massive bullying and transphobia that resulted in him not being able to leave his home in Los Angeles, California.
"What transpired from the video was more bullying and transphobia than I could have ever imagined," Mulvaney said.
"For months now, I’ve been scared to leave my house," he later added.
Mulvaney emerged as a social media sensation after transitioning from male to female in 2021 and has a TikTok account documenting each day of the transformation.
Mulvaney has reportedly earned over $1 million in endorsements from Ulta Beauty and CeraVe among others, including deals with Kate Spade and Bud Light.
Conservatives and others have criticized such partnerships amid larger concerns about biological women now being marginalized and transgender-ism being pushed upon children in public-school curriculum without parental consent.
