Doritos has terminated its collaboration with a transgender activist following the surfacing of disturbing old tweets, one of which mentioned engaging in inappropriate behavior with a 12-year-old.
Samantha Hudson, 24, featured in a recent partnership with Doritos Spain in a 50-second video titled ‘Crunch Talks,’ which has since been removed from the brand’s Instagram.
A spokesperson disclosed that Hudson had been dismissed from the company due to her history of making contentious remarks.
“We have terminated the association and halted all associated campaign endeavors because of these comments,” the spokesperson stated. “We vehemently denounce any language or behavior that advocates violence or sexism in any form.”
Hudson, a transgender artist hailing from Spain, has garnered attention for her social media activities and YouTube channel, where she offers advice on fashion, beauty, travel, and lifestyle.
Nevertheless, on Monday, the announcement of Hudson as a brand ambassador stirred controversy when her past tweets resurfaced, leading to calls for a boycott.
The Daily Mail reports “Born Iván González Ranedo, Hudson has identified herself as ‘anti-capitalist’ and ‘Marxist’ in interviews, and claimed in one video to be for ‘the abolition of [and to] destroy and annihilate the traditional monogamous nuclear family.’ As a teen, she has also tweeted about wanting to do ‘depraved things’ to a minor.”
WARNING, GRAPHIC LANGUAGE
People have accused Hudson of being a pedophile for some tweets that she published in 2015, regarding a 12-year-old. Which she tweeted, according to her, to be funny, Venezuela News said.
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.”
In addition, some have resurfaced other tweets of Hudson’s accusing her of hating women who have been victims of sexual abuse.
In another translated post on X, Hudson writes, “I hate women who are victims of rape and who turn to self-help centers to overcome their trauma. k fat wh****”
PepsiCo Spain has yet to address the boycott or allegations regarding Hudson.
What is with these companies trying to destroy their businesses? I think that the Trans community is probably not the majority of their customers. What a stupid thing for them to do. I have teenagers, bought Doritos all the time, probably 4 of the party size bags every 10 days or so. But now I will have to change what I purchase. So tired of having this bs crammed down my throat. Just sell your fricken product using average people that don’t need to talk about sex all the time. Seriously know who your customers are or were!!!
