In a dramatic announcement that seems more like a marketing stunt than a genuine escape, a transgender influencer has declared they are fleeing the United States—but not before selling enough Burt’s Bees Overnight Lip Treatment to fund the move.
“I’m leaving the country, and I could use a little help… I’m leaving by the end of the year with my fiancé to live in a place that has more constitutional protections for people like me,” the influencer stated.
Rather than revealing what country supposedly offers these “extra protections,” the influencer has focused instead on pushing lip balm sales to fund their getaway. The move has sparked mockery online, with critics accusing them of using a dramatic political narrative as a ploy to sell skincare products.
“This isn’t a cry for help—it’s just a PR stunt,” one user commented. Others questioned whether the influencer will actually leave or quietly drop the plan once enough people have bought into the emotional sales pitch.
As of now, it’s unclear whether the influencer will follow through with their “flee the U.S.” narrative—or just pocket the lip balm profits and stay put.
