Doritos has fired a transgender activist who appeared in one of its promotional videos after being alerted to her sickening old tweets, including one where she wrote about doing 'depraved things' to a 12-year-old.
Samantha Hudson, 24, appeared in a new partnership with Doritos Spain through a 50-second video called 'Crunch Talks that has now been deleted from the brand's Instagram.
Doritos told Rolling Stone on Tuesday it would no longer work with Hudson, saying it had been unaware of her previous inappropriate posts.
The decision follows massive backlash on social media, as users posted grabs of Hudson's previous comments.
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.
Many social media users posted a screenshot of a tweet Hudson made in 2015, when she was 15, writing in Spanish about the seeming assault of a minor.
The post in question read: 'I want to do thuggish things to get into a 12-year-old girl's [expletive].'
Another post translates to: '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 another post, Hudson wrote: 'I hate women who are victims of sexual assault and go to self help centers to overcome their trauma. Annoying sl**s.'
Hudson apologized for the tweets after they resurfaced, saying they 'were pure provocation and in very bad taste.'
She said: 'At that time I dedicated myself to saying nonsense, the heavier the better, because I thought that 'dark humor' was funny.'

Why do you call it ‘she’?
These people have a serious mental illness and no amount of acceptance, tolerance or support is going to change that truth. They need treatment for their illness.
Frito Lay is in deep doo doo with the Left now by firing the person and the Right doesn’t like them since they hired the person.
Big mistake. They should never have hired the person in the first place to avoid this situation.
If Doritos goes kink woke they’ll go kink broke.
This ‘unorganised’ public rebuke is already out in the wild.
Doritos and its parent PepsiCo have a fiduciary obligation to shareholders to not take actions that may severely impair the profitability of their companies.
They took this action, and having seen what happened to the BudLight brand, could have forseen the potential consequences.
Shareholders should absolutely demand that PepsiCo publicly sack those responsible at the Doritos AND PepsiCo levels; otherwise, their stock will be a strong sell for the rest of the month.
That's a joke, right?
Doritos? It’s like eating spicy flavored brittle cardboard.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas - and get boycotted.
They should have stuck with Jay Leno.
(The fact they even hired HIM in the first place is disturbing. They should have learned from Bud Light.
Too little too late)
Absolutely
I’m so glad I sold all my PepsiCo stock.
WHATEVER!
We've come a long way, baby.
Doritos doesn’t need a disturbed pedo for a spokesman. No corporation does. It’s about pushing an agenda that is anti-family, anti-women, anti-Christian and anti-decency. And it’s getting old.
It makes one wonder how careful they are with the ingredients they allow in their modernized “foods”, as well.
corporations forcing their employees under threat of firing to accept this mental illness
Doritos rymnes with donteatthose.
“I have seen various posts about this, but I have not seen the swell of outrage like with bud lite.”
The article mentions “Doritos Spain”, so maybe the situation isn’t as well known here as in Spain. I don’t know...
In my experience everyone above a couple of layers in management is universally a flaming idiot. By the time you get to VPs they are all keystone cops and surround themselves with the same type of absurdly incompetent people.
