The accusations against Blanchard were started by Allysin Kay, who tweeted at Tessa, "Remember when you spat in a black woman’s face and called her the N-word in Japan?" From there, the likes of Chelsea Green, Priscilla Kelly, Isla Dawn, and others stepped forward to share their own stories of being bullied by Blanchard or stories of them witnessing her bullying.
Blanchard denied the accusations. You can find a full recap of the events by clicking here.
Tessa is still scheduled to challenge Sami Callihan for the IMPACT World Title at Hard to Kill on Sunday.
