Furious conservatives have begun boycotting Dove after the soap brand hired a Black Lives Matter activist notorious for destroying a white student's life over a remark she later admitted she may have 'misheard.'
Carole Thorpe, from Charlottesville in Virginia, shared a snap of three bars of Dove soap tossed in the trash on learning the Unilever-owned brand had joined forces with Zyahna Bryant to push a 'fat liberation' campaign.
Sharing her horror at news of Bryant's glitzy Dove gig, Thorpe wrote: 'After hearing that Dove Beauty chose Zyahna Bryant -who ruined Morgan Bettinger's life - for their 'fat acceptance ambassador,' THIS lifelong large lady & now former Dove customer tossed out the last three bars of Dove product she will EVER buy. I have written to Unilever too.'
Scores of other angry users on X, formerly known as Twitter, also vowed to stop buying Dove products in protest at the campaign, which Bryant has been pushing on Instagram.
X owner Elon Musk himself weighed in on the hiring of Bryant, which was first reported by DailyMail.com, by branding it 'messed up.'
Bryant, 22, claimed that she had overheard a white student named Morgan Bettinger threaten Black Lives Matter protesters in Charlottesville in July 2020.
But Bryant later admitted she may have 'misheard', after gleefully watching and joining-in as Bettinger was canceled and her life was destroyed.
Bettinger was subjected to a torrent of abuse and a campaign to remove her from UVA. Staff and students ganged up against her and scuppered her future prospects.

My mother said the exact same thing - we never had Dove soaps in our home. Hospice brought it to her in her home - she told me to get rid of it.
Is that the proposed Soap sales model?
