In a tweet, Davis called for boycotting the brand, using the hashtag #BudLight, and accused the company of supporting "a mental illness." He criticized Harry's for claiming that 1% of their sales support organizations that improve men's mental health, while also referencing the scars left from breast removal surgeries.
