Miller Lite has hit back after the brewing giant was criticized for apologizing over its history of using bikini-clad women in their adverts.
Molson Coors, which owns Miller Lite, was quick to defend its latest one-minute-and-30-second advertisement with comedian Ilana Glazer – with the tagline 'Bad $#!T to Good $#!T'
The company released the campaign for Women's History Month in March, in which it bought up old marketing materials to turn them into compost, which could then be used to make fertilizer.
But the footage has resurfaced and was criticized in the wake of Bud Light's disastrous campaign with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney – and has been slammed by a senior Trump advisor.
A spokesperson for Molson Coors hit back at the claims the advert was woke, telling DailyMail.com: 'This video was about two things: worm poop and saying women shouldn't be forced to mud wrestle in order to sell beer.
'Neither of these things should be remotely controversial and we hope beer drinkers can appreciate the humor (and ridiculousness) of this video from back in March.'
The advert featured Glazer taking a tour of old advertisements used by the company, which included Meghan Markle, Sofia Vergara and Pamela Anderson as the face of the brand.
One of the most infamous 'Cat Fight' ads saw models Tanya Ballinger and Kitana Baker wrestling in a fountain before falling into 'liquid concrete' - from the perspective of men drinking the beer and being derided by their female friends.
The initial ad caused such an uproar, with more than 2,500 complaints being made, it was eventually retired.

I am now checking local craft beer and ale. Surprisingly good!
Who was “forced” to mud-wrestle?
Another garbage beer i don’t drink and could care less if i ever heard about again
The death rattle of big beer. Drink local or brew your own.
Men pay for the beer. What’s the harm is a sexy funny commercial? Or must we continually bow reverently before the radfem gods of mean bitchy power mongering women?
#ShrodingersFeminist
Mud Wrastling and Wet T-Shirt contest... Those were the days.
Now you can’t tell the boys from the girls and if you say ‘boo’ to somebody, they need PTSD therapy for the rest of their lives. The times, they are a changing.
That goes double for me!
Agreed.
>> Molson/Coors spokesperson: “women shouldn’t be forced to mud wrestle in order to sell beer”
Did I read that correctly? And did Molson/Coors have the proverbial “gun to their heads” to force them into wrestling?
I have a question.
Unintelligent young men can go into sports. If they are attractive they can be models. There are careers for them where they can use their physical attributes and are lauded for them.
Unintelligent young women are screwed. More than just literally. If they were athletic, they are now being outperformed by men pretending to be women - men who are then hailed as heroes for doing so. If they are attractive, they are being told it is beneath them to use their physical gifts. They must not be objectified. So what is a gorgeous, stupid girl to do? Work at Walmart?
Do you mean they were forced under threat to mud wrestle?
That is very troubling.
Where did all these fugly women come from? Oh yeah men are not drinking as much beer anymore. We don’t have to buy Miller or Bud Light. They are pandering to a tiny part of the population. We’ll see what that does to their sales and profits. Miller is about to follow in Bud Light’s disastrous sales drop.
Still fighting the mud wrestling war from 20 years ago. Feminism is dead.
Hi.
I apologize up front.
I like watching women mud wrestling in bikinis while drinking beer.
5.56mm
i prefer jello
much cleaner
Oh, I kinda imagine that those women weren’t FORCED to mud wrestle.
I am pretty certain that they were well paid to do it, and competed strongly in auditions to get selected to do it on camera.
Women first need to start acting like women. I get the lack of respect problem. It’s not solved by alienating male customers by a woman with a gutter mouth.
