Dylan Mulvaney has broken her silence after her polarizing partnership with Bud Light prompted backlash and hateful comments.
prompted backlash and hateful comments, mainly from conservatives who criticized the company's decision to partner with a transgender woman. The influencer posted a video statement on Instagram, explaining she had intentionally stayed offline for a few weeks after the controversy started.
The ad prompted some celebrities, including Kid Rock – who shared a video of himself shooting cases of Bud Light – to urge others to boycott the beer. In her Instagram video, Mulvaney said some of the discourse surrounding the partnership was so far from her truth, she didn't know people were even talking about her sometimes.
"But what I'm struggling to understand is the need to dehumanize and to be cruel," she said."I don't think that's right. Dehumanization has never fixed anything in history ever. And, you know, I'm embarrassed to even tell you this, but I was nervous that you were going to start believing those things that they were saying about me, since it is so loud. But I'm just gonna go ahead and trust that the people who know me and my heart won't listen to that noise.
