The trans influencer admitted she feels 'sad' following a huge backlash from promotional campaigns

Trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney says she felt forced to flee her home country of America as she no longer "feels safe".

The TikTok star admitted she is "sad" after facing backlash for collaborating with two high-profile brands.


The 26-year-old promoted Bud Light beer in April and later modelled Nike products including a sports bra.

Her partnerships angered a number of women's rights activists who actively boycotted the products she teams up with in protest.

Across the US, people began smashing crates of beer while Pamela Anderson's ex-husband Kid Rock wore a Make America Great Again (MAGA) cap as he shot some beer crates.

Mulvaney has now revealed she has traveled to Peru to get to know herself better.

In a video posted from Machu Picchu, she said: "I'm here by myself and I used to do a ton of solo travelling and I'm telling you it's the best.

"If you could ever do a solo trip somewhere it is such a good way to get to know yourself better.

"But I came here to feel something, you know what I mean, and I definitely have, I've done shaman ceremonies that were like 10 years' worth of therapy.

"It was wild. I've seen a lot of llamas and the people here are so kind."

Speaking about her reasons for travelling to Peru, she added: "I feel very safe here. It's a little sad that I had to leave my country to feel safe, but that will get better eventually.

"Most of all, this trip just has me feeling like I'm my own best friend again and that is the best feeling in the world and I hope that you feel that way about yourself too."
