<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“A lot has been said about me,” Mulvaney said in the clip, which was posted on both platforms. “Some of which is so far from my truth that I was hearing my name and I didn’t know who they were talking about sometimes. It was so loud that I didn’t even feel part of the conversation so I decided to take the backseat.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mulvaney claimed to be “doing OK,” but said being called “too feminine and over the top” reminded the influencer of being teased during childhood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“But this time it’s from other adults,” Mulvaney said. “And if they’re going to accuse me of anything it should be that I’m a theater person and that I’m camp. But this is just my personality and it always has been.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“What I’m struggling to understand is the need to dehumanize and to be cruel. Dehumanization has never fixed anything in history,” the influencer said.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I grew up in a conservative family and I’m extremely privileged because they still love me very much. And I grew up in the church and I still have my faith, which I am really trying to hold on to right now” Mulvaney said, mentioning always trying “to love everyone, even the people that make it really, really hard.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, Mulvaney indicated that videos will continue in service to fans “who know me and my heart [and] won’t listen to that noise.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The good news is that the people pleaser in me has nearly died because there’s clearly no way of winning over everyone. But if you’re still around, I am too,” Mulvaney concluded.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The TikTok star, who became famous for documenting the so-called “transition” process as part of a series called “Days of Girlhood,” started an uproar after posting about a brand partnership with Bud Light on April 1.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Since then, Bud Light and their parent company Anheuser-Busch have suffered declining sales and public boycotts. Bud Light sales fell 17% in dollars and 21% in volume in the week that ended April 15, per a previous </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bud-light-sales-down-17-after-dylan-mulvaney-partnership"><span style="font-weight: 400;">report</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from The Daily Wire. Two marketing executives working on the Bud Light brand were placed on leave. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anheuser-Busch initially said in a statement that it “works with hundreds of influencers across our brands as one of many ways to authentically connect with audiences across various demographics.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“From time to time we produce unique commemorative cans for fans and for brand influencers, like Dylan Mulvaney,” the company said. “This commemorative can was a gift to celebrate a personal milestone and is not for sale to the general public.”</span></p>
