WWE star Chelsea Green leaves social media after fallout over Hulk Hogan tribute
WWE star Chelsea Green quits social media over ‘overwhelming’ Hulk Hogan backlash
- WWE star Chelsea Green has announced a social media break following backlash for her tribute to the late Hulk Hogan.
- Green described Hogan as an 'absolute icon' on CBS News, acknowledging his 'polarising political views', which fans interpreted as dismissive of his controversial past.
- The criticism largely stemmed from Hogan's history, including racist comments made in a 2006 sex tape that led to his dismissal from WWE.
- Green apologised if her comments seemed to dismiss concerns, affirming her unwavering stance against racism.
- Hogan, who died aged 71, was also known for his allegiance to President Donald Trump, who led tributes to the wrestling legend.
