What is the Bud Light Controversy?
The company decided to collaborate with Mulvaney in April creating certain cans featuring her face. They even sponsored some of her videos. However, the consumers did not accept it well and this led to a series of controversies starting with a boycott of BudLight just after the announcement. Anheuser-Busch lost sales of $400 million after that.
She later said that she was never contacted by the company after receiving death threats and transphobic bullying. The threats received made her feel unsafe and she decided to take a vacation outside the US.
Mulvaney in her award acceptance speech highlighted, “Because I came to London on holiday this summer after months of feeling isolated,” she said she did not feel the baggage that she was carrying back. Further, she expressed her happiness and said “I didn’t feel like the trans beer girl” and remarked that she can now romanticize the country as a safe place.
