Doritos told Rolling Stone on Tuesday it would no longer work with Hudson,

EVER SINCE RIGHT-WING influencers orchestrated a boycott of Anheuser-Busch products last year for collaborating with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney, they have been foaming at the mouth for a new product to boycott for incredibly stupid, hateful reasons. First, it was Frosted Flakes, due to its mascot posing for a photo with Mulvaney at the Tony Awards (a cultural event beloved by the right due to the absence of LGBTQ people in musical theater). Then, it was Cracker Barrel, because during Pride Month, the restaurant chain had the temerity to acknowledge the existence of gay people on its socials.

In response to a request for comment from Rolling Stone, a Doritos spokesperson said that Doritos Spain had published an Instagram video featuring Hudson (not, as some outlets erroneously reported, a larger brand ambassadorship campaign) on Sunday, prior to discovering the existence of her previous comments on social media; on Monday morning, after the team became aware of her comments, the post was removed and Hudson terminated. The spokesperson said that Hudson’s termination had nothing to do with her gender identity, and everything to do with her history of inflammatory comments.

That's a joke, right?
