WWE Superstar Chelsea Green revealed on X that she has been
receiving death threats and a constant flow of name calling
online after she put over Hulk Hogan’s contributions to
wrestling during a televised interview.
Green was doing promo work for the company’s upcoming WWE:
Unreal show on Netflix when she was asked about Hulk Hogan
just hours after he passed away.
The former Women’s United States champion first apologized
to those fans who were offended, saying that her stance on
racism is unwavering and does not condone it.
“I tried to acknowledge a death respectfully, even when the
legacy is complicated. I am learning one day at a time and
will continue to learn,” she wrote, adding that a
significant part of her role at WWE is engaging in media
interviews and engage with the public.
“If my response (or tweet) seemed dismissive of real
concerns, I sincerely apologize. That was never my
intention,” Green added.
But the death threats from those who feel that Hulk Hogan
should not even be acknowledged were overwhelming her and
said this hit harder than expected.
“The name calling, the death threats, the faceless accounts.
Social media was supposed to be a fun place and it hasn’t
been for a while,” she wrote today. “It’s been overwhelming
and I need to step away for a little bit.”
