Anheuser-Busch’s chief executive on Friday issued a statement amid Bud Light’s controversy over its sponsorship deal with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
It was the first public statement issued by the top executive since controversy started brewing over the campaign, announced by Mulvaney earlier this month. Mulvaney’s likeness was placed on cans of Bud Light as part of the sponsorship deal, prompting industry analysts to issue warnings.
