The snack brand cut ties after resurfaced tweets from 2015 sparked widespread controversy and calls for boycotts.

  • Doritos has terminated its partnership with Samantha Hudson, a transgender influencer, after historic tweets resurfaced, causing outrage.
  • The tweets, dating back to 2015, included inappropriate comments about children and derogatory remarks about sexual assault victims.
  • The controversy has reignited debates similar to those seen during Bud Light's collaboration with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
  • Right-wing activists have amplified calls for a boycott of Doritos, with some extending their outrage to all PepsiCo products.
  • Doritos stated the decision to end the partnership was due to the comments, not Hudson's gender identity, condemning violence or sexism of any kind.
