Chelsea Green is not returning to the X social media platform. Not now. Not ever.
In an interview with Chris Van Vliet, Green made her decision perfectly clear.
“I am done, unfortunately. I love Twitter so much because it’s allowed me to fill my creative cup when I wasn’t necessarily able to at work but unfortunately it has allowed that toxicity and negativity to take over,” she said.
Green isn’t happy with how innocent statements or statements of support and caring are sometimes twisted by other members.
“I was finding that I was telling the world that if I believed and fed into the love, that I would have to believe and feed into the hate, and I was. I was starting to feed into that stuff and I can’t do it. I will not allow the internet to cyber-bully me or any of my friends and I was becoming this online vigilante and it was just biting me in the ass. I’m not going to allow them to tell me what my beliefs are or who I vote for, even though I’m Canadian. We’ve laughed about that,” she chuckled.
She cannot stand the attacks on X any longer.
“I’m not going to allow them to tell me what race my friends are, to bully my family, to say things about my coworkers that are untrue or unfair or whatever. I can’t do it. I cannot do it. I hate bullying and I really hate cyberbullying and the narrative that Twitter comes up with and the dog-piling. It’s too much. I love the fandom but unfortunately the fandoms, they also turn into bullying,” she said.
Green also explained that it wasn’t just affecting her personal life but her workplace as well.
“It was affecting relationships at work. They were trying to say who I didn’t like and who I didn’t get along with. They were trying to say these are the people that are bullies. These are the locker room leaders and they’re still doing that. I literally just saw an interview that Lainey Reid did about me, and she’s completely in character as Lainey Reid from Fatal Influence and they are trying to say that what she’s saying is the truth in real life. Be so for real, people. Touch grass! Realize that we’re living in a soap opera in WWE. When we go home, we are friends. We text. We hang out. We support each other. We share clothes. We go to the gym together,” she said.
Green is currently dealing with a fractured orbital bone. GM Nick Aldis has given Green 30 days to become medically cleared and defend the Interim WWE Women’s Championship before she would have to relinquish it.
