Maxxine Dupri gained headlines earlier this month after fans booed her after performing at a WWE house show. Weeks later on Monday Night RAW, Candice LeRae berated Maxxine's wrestling skills, adding that the Alpha Academy member didn't belong in the locker room. She even mentioned Dupri's late brother. Although Candice's words are harsh and personal, it's part of the storyline.

Candice LeRae and the rest of the WWE locker room don't hate Maxxine Dupri. When the issue of fans booing her after performing at a house show went viral, several superstars came to Maxxine's aid on social media.

Although Candice LeRae was not among the WWE Superstars who showed support for Maxxine on social media, it's most probably because of storyline reasons.
