WWE Star Chelsea Green Quits Social Media Over Backlash For Hulk Hogan Comments
Chelsea Green, Women's United States Championship winner, quits social media after backlash for comments on WWE legend Hulk Hogan.
Canadian professional wrestler Chelsea Green, the Women's United States Championship winner, has quit social media after she faced massive backlash for her comments on the recently departed Hulk Hogan, a legend of WWE who passed away last week.
Green appeared on CBS News' 24/7 show on Thursday and called Hogan an 'absolute icon' despite his 'polarising political views'.
Hogan supported Donald Trump during last year's presidential election and was already considered to be a polarising figure after leaked audio showed him making racist remarks.
'A significant part of my role at @WWE involves engaging with the public & responding to questions, often on live platforms. Yesterday, I was asked to comment on Hulk Hogan on live TV. Let me be clear: my stance on racism is unwavering," Green tweeted last week.

Farah Khan's Cook Calls Her ‘Khadoos', Says ‘She Eats A Lot'; Boman Irani In Splits
Last Updated: Farah Khan's cook hilariously exposes her off-camera personality in a vlog with Boman Irani, calling her 'khadoos' and revealing her love for food. Farah Khan never fails to entertain, and this time, it's not her choreography or direction but her hilarious off-screen camaraderie with her cook Dilip that has fans in splits. In her latest YouTube vlog, Farah is seen visiting longtime friend and actor Boman Irani's home along with Dilip, who ends up stealing the spotlight with his cheeky revelations about the filmmaker. The vlog, which centers around a fun-filled cooking session of traditional Parsi food, begins with Farah jokingly warning Dilip not to tell her husband if she flirts with Boman, whom she adorably refers to as her 'favourite." As the group settles in, Farah joins Boman's wife Zenobia in preparing chutney for marinating fish, while Boman takes Dilip aside for some 'off-the-record" chit-chat. What follows next is pure comedy gold. In a mock-serious tone, Boman asks for the cameras to be turned off and quizzes Dilip, 'Farah camera ke saamne itni acchi baatein karti hai, jab camera band hota hai toh kaisi hai?" Without missing a beat, Dilip quips, 'Bahut khadoos hai," leaving everyone in splits. Boman, amused, then asks if Farah genuinely speaks well of him behind the scenes. Dilip shakes his head and delivers another zinger, 'Aapki bhut burai karti hai." The fun doesn't stop there. When asked if Farah is on a diet, Dilip reveals, 'Diet pe nahi hai, Farah ma'am. Khoob saara khaati hai. Diet pe dal chawal, soup chawal, par jab diet pe nahi hoti toh khoob saara khaati hai." Fans couldn't get enough of Dilip's candidness and Farah's unabashed laughter throughout the video. The comments section was flooded with heart emojis and laughing reactions, applauding the honest yet affectionate dynamic between Farah and her cook. Farah and Boman's friendship dates back to their collaboration on Main Hoon Na. They later starred together in Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi and Happy New Year.
