Doritos has fired transgender activist Samantha Hudson, who appeared in one of the company’s promotional videos, following an outcry over Hudson’s previous sexualized tweets about children.
During Hudson’s brief stint as a Doritos brand ambassador, she appeared in a 50-second video titled Crunch Talks, which has since been removed from the chip company’s Instagram account.
Doritos informed Rolling Stone on Tuesday that it would no longer work with Hudson in light of the previous inappropriate posts. The company’s decision comes after a massive backlash on social media, where users posted screenshots of Hudson’s previous comments and demanded that the snack maker be given the “Bud Light treatment.”
Hudson, 24, was born Iván González Ranedo in Spain. He is an avowed “anti-capitalist” and “Marxist” who has called for “the abolition of [and to] destroy and annihilate the traditional monogamous nuclear family.”
Hudson, a teenager, tweeted about wanting to do “thuggish things” to a 12-year-old girl and “screaming that I’m a nymphomaniac in front of a super beautiful 8-year-old girl,” according to the Mail.
In 2015, Hudson wrote, “I want to do thuggish things to get into a 12-year-old girl’s [expletive].”
