#2 Bautista Is An Ardent James Gunn Apologist
Famed Hollywood director James Gunn was the subject of controversy this summer when he was future endeavored from Guardians of the Galaxy after disturbing social media posts resurfaced that showed Gunn using rape and child molestation in a misguided attempt at humor. Gunn's firing didn't sit well with Bautista, who openly advocated for his friend.
Bautista's support cost him dearly with some fans, who took to social media in droves to express their displeasure with the WWE legend.
Bautista goes into detail on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia:
"I got beaten up and I got beaten up royally to the point where it was almost intolerable. It was overwhelming how I got bashed and it was just crazy. People started accusing me of some crazy sh*t, just started pulling stuff out of nowhere."
One fan even accused Bautista of sexually harassing WWE Divas,
"One guy accused me of sexually harassing WWE Divas. I immediately said, 'If you're making a formal accusation, get a lawyer buddy. Get ready to be penniless.' That's not me. Mama didn't raise me that way.'"
Bautista went on, "I'm just not that guy." Host Lilian Garcia concurred and said that Bautista was actually one of the most respectful WWE Superstars behind the scenes.
The former WWE Superstar continued,
"People started accusing James of all this crazy stuff that he's never condoned or encouraged, but people jumped on this negative band wagon and I just defended him. If it was gonna be to my last breath, I was going to defend him because I knew I was right. I know he's a good guy."
The WWE legend attests that he would most certainly defend his friend again, if given the opportunity and promises that he will always be honest and true to himself. Bautista blames today's overly analytical politically correct climate for much of the backlash he has received.
