SiriusXM’s “The Megyn Kelly Show” host Megyn Kelly has defended her criticism of Bud Light’s sponsorship deal with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

On Tuesday, Kelly addressed a news website’s article that labeled her commentary as a “transphobic tirade.”

She tweeted to her 2.7 million Twitter followers, “Call me whatever names you want. I am speaking the truth.”

Kelly continued, “And neither I nor the millions of other women (and men) who believe in biology/reality/fairness will be dissuaded by your attempts to marginalize us with words like ‘transphobic’.”

Kelly was responding to a post by The Wrap, which linked to a story headlined: “Megyn Kelly Goes on Transphobic Tirade Over Dylan Mulvaney.”

The news story cited Monday’s episode of Kelly’s podcast, during which she argued that Bud Light and Mulvaney had “made a mockery of womanhood and girlhood.”
Kelly said that Bud Light and its parent company Anheuser-Busch made a mistake by promoting Mulvaney, a trans woman, whom she described as “celebrated by far-lefties all across the country.”

She criticized Anheuser-Busch for inserting itself into “a discussion that divides people.”

Last week, Kelly also took issue with Nike, another corporate sponsor that partnered with Mulvaney.

Kelly questioned Nike’s decision to promote “non-breasted” Mulvaney as a spokesperson for its collection of sports bras.

“I’m sorry, Dylan doesn’t have breasts,” she said during Tuesday’s edition of “The Megyn Kelly Show” on SiriusXM.

Kelly argued that Mulvaney does not require a bra, including a sports bra.

The controversy surrounding Bud Light’s sponsorship deal with Mulvaney led to Anheuser-Busch InBev CEO Brendan Whitworth issuing an apology on Friday.

Critics claimed the apology was inadequate as the beer giant continues to face backlash over its partnership with Mulvaney. “We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Whitworth said in a press release titled “Our Responsibility To America.” “We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer.”

Whitworth did not address reports suggesting senior executives were not informed about the Mulvaney rollout.

Since the campaign’s launch on April 1, the $132 billion beer company has seen its market value drop by around $5 billion.

Busch distributors across the country have experienced the fallout, with many bars in conservative states from Tennessee to Wyoming refusing to stock Bud Light.

The ongoing debate involving Bud Light’s sponsorship deal with Mulvaney and the subsequent backlash reflects the broader conversations surrounding transgender individuals, corporate sponsorships, and the role of businesses in divisive social issues.

As these discussions continue, it is crucial for companies and society as a whole to carefully consider the potential consequences and implications of their actions and partnerships.
