Following the death of Hulk Hogan, Chelsea Green was asked to comment on it, and she said that aside from his political views, the star was an icon and that the community would mourn his loss. These comments attracted negative attention, thanks to the controversies attached to Hogan himself. On X/Twitter, she apologized to fans for anyone who thought her remarks were dismissive.

"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... 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."

There was even more backlash with the star receiving death threats from fans and with some fans taking things to an extreme level. Naturally, the star was disturbed, and after WWE SmackDown, she announced that she would be stepping away from social media. She said that the name-calling, the death threats, and the faceless accounts were too much.

"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," she wrote.

Whether harassing Adam Pearce or Nick Aldis on TV or interacting with fan accounts on social media, she has been a prominent presence, to the point that she was nominated for Social Star of the Year in the Slammy Awards in both 2024 and 2025. Unfortunately, she lost both times to Drew McIntyre.

Chelsea Green will now be taking a break from social media due to the hate she has received.
