TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney is seeking solace in Peru amid the onslaught of anti-trans harassment she�s faced in recent months.
In April, the influencer posted a sponsored Instagram video promoting Bud Light, sharing that the beer�s maker had sent her a can of Bud Light with
her face on it to commemorate her celebration of �Day 365 of Girlhood� a
couple of weeks earlier. The post triggered backlash against the company
and Mulvaney, who now says she feels safest outside the U.S.
Following Mulvaney�s initial Instagram post, Anheuser-Busch defended its partnership with Mulvaney in a statement sent to The Times, writing that
the company �works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one
of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics.�
�From time to time we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for
brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney,� Anheuser-Busch said. �This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not
for sale to the general public.�
But later that month, the company seemed to buckle under conservative
pressure and placed two of its marketing executives on leave. The move
came after weeks of blowback, including a video of Kid Rock shooting up
cases of Bud Light and rallying cries for a boycott backed by conservative leaders including presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
To date, that boycott has resulted in Bud Light losing almost a third of
its market share and ending its decades-long reign as the nation�s No. 1
light beer. Modelo now holds that title.
�I�m in Peru ... at Machu Picchu,� Mulvaney said in the TikTok posted
Monday. �I�m here by myself and I used to do a ton of solo traveling. I�m telling you, it�s the best. If you could ever do a solo trip somewhere, it
is such a good way to get to know yourself better.�
The influencer revealed that she traveled to Peru to feel something and
that she has since participated in shamanic ceremonies that were �like 10 years� worth of therapy.� Mulvaney said she has enjoyed the kindness of
the Peruvian people and is starting to feel like her own best friend
again.
