WWE Star Chelsea Green Takes Break After Backlash Over Hulk Hogan Remarks
WWE star Chelsea Green announced she’s taking a break from social media after receiving backlash for her comments about Hulk Hogan following his death. Green, like many in the pro wrestling world, offered condolences and called Hogan an “absolute icon” despite his polarizing views on politics.
Green addressed the criticism on social media, stating her stance on racism is unwavering and she does not condone it. She apologized if her response seemed dismissive of real concerns and acknowledged that Hogan’s legacy is complicated. The backlash continued, with Green experiencing name-calling, death threats, and faceless accounts, prompting her to step away from social media.
Hogan died on Thursday after a potential cardiac event at his home in Florida, and the sports entertainment world paid tribute to him. WWE honored his memory with a video of his pro wrestling success and a 10-bell salute during Friday Night SmackDown.
