Now, it seems the backlash and scrutiny over Hudson's past have led to the termination of the partnership between the chip giant and the activist.
It's hardly surprising, given the nature of Hudson's comments and the track record of companies aligning themselves with outspoken LGBTQ figures. One need only look at the disastrous Bud Light partnership with Dylan Mulvaney, which resulted in substantial financial losses for the company.
From TMZ:
24-year-old Samantha Hudson -- who recently appeared in a new ad for Doritos out in Spain -- was put on blast this week by right-leaning X users amid her first promotional plug for the chip brand ... calling out an alleged social media post where she reportedly declared a desire to do inappropriate things to a 12-year-old girl when she was 15.
Of course ... many also just slammed the fact Doritos had partnered with a trans woman.
Samantha wrote the inappropriate post in 2015 -- which has seemingly been deleted from her account ... but which got screen-grabbed and shared online. SH's original upload for Doritos has also been wiped from her Instagram account -- which has lost nearly 30,000 followers in the wake of the controversy ... this after Doritos axed their deal.
Once the digital spot ran and went viral ... the hashtag #BoycottDoritos made the rounds online. In the aftermath, Doritos Spain caved ... nixing their partnership with Samantha and saying they simply weren't aware of her old tweets when they first brought her on.
They added ... "We strongly condemn words or actions that promote violence or sexism of any kind."
