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.
