Anheuser-Busch’s chief executive officer is breaking his silence two weeks after Bud Light sparked significant backlash for its marketing campaign featuring transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.
“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. We are in the business of bringing people together over a beer,” A-B CEO Brendan Whitworth said in a statement released on Friday.
Whitworth, however, offered no apology to Bud Light consumers, not did he suggest any plans to overhaul the marketing campaign.
