Doritos cuts ties with trans influencer over posts
Doritos, the popular snack brand, has decided to cut ties with a transgender influencer following controversial social media posts.
The influencer, who goes by the name of “TransTacoQueen,” had been promoting Doritos products on their social media channels for the past year. However, recent posts made by the influencer sparked backlash from some of Doritos’ customers.
In a statement released by Doritos, they explained their decision to part ways with the influencer: “We value diversity and inclusivity at Doritos, and we do not condone any form of hate speech or discrimination. The recent posts made by TransTacoQueen do not align with our brand values, and as a result, we have decided to end our partnership.”
Many supporters of the influencer have voiced disappointment over Doritos’ decision, citing it as an example of transphobia in the corporate world.
As of now, TransTacoQueen has not responded to Doritos’ decision to sever ties.
