Doritos Faces Backlash for Transgender Ambassador's Tweet About 12-Year-Old
Mar 05, 2024Doritos Spain faces backlash on Monday as news of the company announcing transgender artist Samantha Hudson as a brand ambassador of Spain sparked outrage over Hudson's previous tweets involving a 12-year-old.
Hudson is a transgender artist from Spain, who gained recognition through her social media presence and her YouTube channel where she shares fashion, beauty, travel and lifestyle tips.
Over the weekend Doritos Spain, which falls under PepsiCo Spain's branch of products, announced Hudson as a brand ambassador for the products including her in a 50-second promo called "Crunch Talks."
On Monday, several X users alerted Doritos to past posts published in 2015 regarding a 12-year-old.
The post, translated from Spanish and is graphic, begins by saying, "I want to do thuggish things [to] a 12-year-old girl," before providing an example of an extreme sexual crime against a child. Hudson, now 24, was said to have been aged 15 when the tweet was posted online, which she tweeted, according to her, to be funny.
In another post, Hudson allegedly said: "In the middle of the street in Mallorca in panties and screaming that I'm a nymphomaniac in front of a super beautiful 8-year-old girl."
