WWE Women’s Champion Chelsea Green has confirmed that she has left X/Twitter for good after deciding that the platform was no longer worth the impact it was having on her life.
The decision follows months of online criticism, including an exchange in July when a fan accused “The Hot Mess” of being part of the MAGA movement, something she denied before stepping away from the platform.
Speaking on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet,” Green explained that she had reached a point where she could no longer separate the positive side of social media from the negativity that came with it. She said the constant criticism was affecting her mental health and leading her to become too involved in online arguments.
Green also acknowledged that walking away was difficult because Twitter had once given her a creative outlet when she did not feel she had enough room to express herself through her work.
“I love Twitter so much because it’s allowed me to fill my creative cup when I wasn’t necessarily able to at work, but unfortunately it has allowed that toxicity and negativity to take over.”
The star continued:
“I will not allow the internet to cyber-bully me or any of my friends, and I was becoming this online vigilante, and it was just biting me in the (expletive). I’m not going to allow them to tell me what my beliefs are or who I vote for, even though I’m Canadian. We’ve laughed about that. I’m not going to allow them to tell me what race my friends are, to bully my family, to say things about my coworkers that are untrue or unfair or whatever. I can’t do it.”
Green said the decision also required some accountability from someone close to her. She recalled Ethan Page telling her that if she was serious about leaving Twitter this time, she needed to stay away rather than returning to the platform.
“Ethan Page was like, ‘Chelsea, don’t be doing this again. If you’re leaving, you’re leaving for good this time. Do not embarrass yourself.’ I love that. I needed to hear that, holding me accountable. But I am done, unfortunately.”
The WWE star also made it clear that her frustration is not with wrestling fans themselves. Instead, she believes the culture around social media can turn fandom into something much more hostile.
“I hate bullying and I really hate cyberbullying and the narrative that Twitter comes up with and the dog-piling. It’s too much. I love the fandom, but unfortunately, the fandoms-they also turn into bullying.”
