Chelsea Green Taking Social Media Break Following Death Threats

Chelsea Green offered words honouring Hulk Hogan following the passing of the WWE Hall Of Famer, but in the aftermath of her appearance on CBS News, she received backlash from those who were unhappy with the fact that she’d ignored the negative aspects of Hogan’s character. Green would then take to social media to apologise. 

“A significant part of my role at WWE involves engaging w 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. I do not condone it—period. If my response (or tweet) seemed dismissive of real concerns, I sincerely apologize. That was never my intention. I tried to acknowledge a death respectfully, even when the legacy is complicated. I am learning one day at a time and will continue to learn. ILY my PatriHOTS, President Chelsea”

However, Green has since revealed that this situation brought hate and death threats, forcing her to take a break from social media. 

“I’ve tried to keep my page positive and comedic, but today, a lot changed… and it hit harder than I expected. The name calling, the death threats, the faceless accounts. Social media was supposed to be a fun place and it hasn’t been for a while. It’s been overwhelming and I need to step away for a little bit. Love my PatriHOTS! xo president chels”

Chelsea Green was one of many names across the wrestling world to offer tributes to Hulk Hogan’s contributions to the business.
