In addition, the clip has received more than 180 K likes from Mulvaney’s fans and followers.
Meanwhile, the criticism reportedly comes after some people believe that the trans activist should not promote products that are marketed towards women because she is transgender.
Besides that, Oli London, a British influencer who has written a series of tweets speaking against Mulvaney shared his take on the latest controversy.
He wrote, ‘Dylan Mulvaney stars in new Olay advert, appearing in an ad with women and advertising a women’s skincare product! Another brand that has no respect for their customers- women! #GoWokeGoBroke #dylanmulvaney.’

Who is Dylan Mulvaney?
Dylan Mulvaney is a popular social media influencer who is known for documenting her journey of transitioning on TikTok.
For the unversed, Mulvaney underwent Facial Feminization Surgery last year.
Meanwhile, Mulvaney has refrained from engaging in the drama despite being under hot water with social media users over her sponsoring brands.
Furthermore, it seems like Mulvaney will prefer to keep her silence amid the Olay backlash judging from the fact that she did not address the Bud Light boycott earlier as well.
