Condemnatory comments toward WWE star follow Hulk Hogan's passing
In a surprising turn of events, WWE star Chelsea Green has announced a break from social media following backlash over her remarks about the late Hulk Hogan.
During a live TV interview, Green was asked to comment on Hogan, who passed away on Thursday due to a potential cardiac event at his home in Florida. The WWE paid tribute to the iconic pro wrestler on their SmackDown, RAW, and NXT shows, with a video of his pro wrestling success and a 10-bell salute.
However, Green's remarks about Hogan drew backlash from fans on social media. Hulk Hogan, with his polarizing political views and leaked racist remarks, had become a polarizing and controversial figure. His support for President Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential election further fuelled the controversy.
In response, Green called Hogan an "absolute icon" but also apologised for any dismissive comments about Hogan's complicated legacy. The backlash against Green included name-calling, death threats, and faceless accounts.
Chelsea Green's role at WWE involves public engagement and responding to questions, often on live platforms. This role has made her a target for online criticism, leading her to take a break from social media.
Hulk Hogan, on the other hand, was an undeniable icon in the pro wrestling world. His legacy, however, remains complex and polarizing, a testament to the enduring impact he had on the industry.
As Green steps away from social media, fans and the WWE community await her return and the resolution of this unexpected controversy.
