Big alcohol brand denies partnership with drag queen and radical trans activist removed from TX Capitol

May 6, 2023 | | Print Article

A major alcoholic beverage brand denied that it has partnered with a drag queen and radical transgender activist in a sign that the fierce backlash after Bud Light hooked up with trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney may have spooked industry execs.

Word began to spread that the popular Smirnoff vodka brand could be next in line for boycotts after a biological male dragster who goes by the name of Maxine LaQueene featured the tag “Paid Partnership with Smirnoff” on a number of recent Instagram posts, leading many to believe that the company had hired a person who is alleged to have exposed himself to young children and was forcibly removed by police during the “transsurrection” at the Texas State Capitol.

“Meet the FACE of@SmirnoffUSA radical trans activist who participated in an illegal insurrection in the Texas state house this week and flashed his backside and genitals in front of teenage children and women,” tweeted de-transitioner Oli London, a prominent voice in the battle against groomers and the transgender cult.

“He also testified in opposition to SB14 against a ban on child genital surgeries. He campaigns for children yet his Twitter is littered with horrifying explicit content!” London added. “Is this person someone who should be the face of a vodka brand? #sb14.”

In an email to Fox News Digital, the company denied that it had a current working relationship with the trans exhibitionist.

“Smirnoff has denied having any current working relationship with LaQueene. In an email to Fox News Digital, a representative said LaQueene ‘is not currently a Smirnoff partner, and does not currently have any contract with Smirnoff.’ LaQueene, the representative said, was one of the participants in a promotional campaign in the fall of 2022 but not now in 2023,” the outlet reported.

It’s certainly understandable why Smirnoff would want to keep its distance in the current environment considering Bud Light’s problems and especially from the individual in question who was hauled off by police during the protest in Austin, exposing himself in the process.

LaQueene posted a video to social media blaming the police for the flashing of his testicles and rear end during Tuesday’s Texas fracas.

While Smirnoff is denying that it has a current paid relationship with LaQueene, Twitter users didn’t get the message and served up their takes on the partnership that the company insists does not exist.

According to a recent report, Bud Light’s sales have plummeted a whopping 26 percent since the flawed thinking of a “woke” Harvard-educated marketing exec decided the brand needed a reboot of its “fratty” image, a cautionary tale for other alcoholic beverage purveyors of the consequences of insulting loyal customers.
