Mulvaney turns on Bud Light
Daily mail reported that Mulvaney, 26, took to Instagram to post a video in which she slammed Bud Light for not supporting her over the past few months.
“I was waiting for the brand to contact me, but they never did. I was afraid to leave my house,” Mulvaney said. “For a company to hire a trans person and not publicly support them is worse than not hiring a trans person at all.”
“Because it gives clients permission to be as transphobic and as hateful as they want. There shouldn’t be anything controversial or divisive about working with us,” the transgender influencer continued. I was ridiculed in public, I was followed and I felt a loneliness that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.”
Budweiser released a Dylan Mulvaney beer congratulating the biological man on his 365 days of being a girl “well done to 365 days” 🍺 🍻

In that same video, Mulvaney admitted to losing the can Bud Light sent to her with her face on it to commemorate her “365 days of womanhood.”
“I realized I had to protect this box so I hid it somewhere and I can’t find it because I hid it so well,” she claimed. “But when I find it I feel like it needs to go to a museum, preferably behind bulletproof glass. One thing I won’t tolerate people saying about me is that I don’t like beer because I like beer and always have.
