AUSTIN, TEXAS: During a recent episode of his podcast, 'The Joe Rogan Experience', Joe Rogan discussed celebrities who had plastic surgery with his guests, comedians Shane Gillis, Mark Normand, and Ari Shaffir. The UFC commentator even slammed transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney for undergoing feminization surgery amid the Bud Light controversy.
Her association with Bud Light has attracted censure and boycott calls from a number of conservative heavyweights, including Texas GOP representative Dan Crenshaw. Kid Rock, one of the first and most vocal opponents, reacted by posting a video of himself opening fire on a stack of Bud Light cans.
'It's Kid Rock's archenemy'
While discussing plastic surgery with his guests, Rogan made a remark about Mulvaney. He said, "People get surgery on their f****** jaws. They get their jaws trimmed down to narrow their face," adding, "Didn't Dylan Mulvaney, your favorite Bud Light drinker, didn't that person do that? I think they got feminizing surgery." "I don't know who that is," Gillis replied. On which Rogan commented, "Oh, it's Kid Rock's archenemy." The group then went on to discuss the Bud Light controversy and the considerable financial blow it had taken as a result of all the criticism faced after Mulvaney announced her brief association with the beer brand.
What is the Bud Light controversy?
Bud Light has been chastised for its alleged 'trans agenda'. The uproar was triggered by Mulvaney's collaboration with Bud Light, which included a customized can with her face to commemorate her 365 days as a female.
Mulvaney has been at the center of a social media storm over the last two months as a result of her engagement with Bud Light after she shared a video on Instagram. The furor allegedly echoes a growing anti-transgender trend in the United States. Bud Light's parent company Anheuser-Busch suffered due to the ensuing backlash after launching the promotion, with industry figures showing that sales of Bud Light fell more than 29.5%, according to statistics provided to Newsweek.
