Simone Johnson Recalls ‘Angry Conservative Men’ Attacking Her After Charlie Kirk Tweet
Simone Johnson (Ava in WWE) reflects on being attacked online.
After Charlie Kirk was killed, Simone shared a post from Gianmarco Soresi that read, “If you want people to have kind words when you pass, you should say kind things when you’re alive.”
Appearing on The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi, the two looked back on the fallout from the tweet and how it connected them.
“The way that has haunted me since that day. It was meant to just be, ‘this is a statement. Be kind to people.’ Be a good person. I was used to getting hated on by wrestling fans. Whatever. Fine. Shitting on me because of my dad. They call me every type of slur, but that’s from wrestling fans. There were so many angry conservative men that I was like, ‘You don’t even know who I am,'” she said.
After leaving WWE in January, Simone Johnson made her feelings known on the current administration. You can find comments from her here.
