Recently, another female WWE Superstar found herself in deep waters after she was caught making a controversial statement. Earlier this month, former NXT Women’s Champion, Mandy Rose, was let go by WWE, after she breached her WWE Contract.
Mandy Rose was found breaching her contract and selling her exclusive photos online. WWE found themselves in a tough position and decided to release Rose after stripping her off the title. Recently, the company again saw trouble, when Lacey Evans made controversial statements on autism.

However, after Evans shared the story on her Instagram, she found herself in hot water, as people online started cancelling out her. She would later take to Twitter to justify her actions. Evans claimed that she shared the story after finding out what processed food what was doing to the children. She would later delete the post.

Evans is currently experiencing a repackage of her character, and fans can expect her to come back to the ring next week.
WWE Fans react to Lacey Evans’ controversial take on autism
Autism is a sensitive topic, and being a public figure, one has to have an even more sensitive approach to it. With the latest firing of Mandy Rose, WWE Fans were hyped up and thought about bringing Rose justice by firing Evans.
Although, such a thing did not take place. Instead, Twitter started trending with #FireLaceyEvans. WWE is yet to act on this, and Evans is expected to return next week.

Don't spew toxic misconceptions towards autism and the crippling struggles it dawns on individuals suffering from it.— vampffy (@vampffy) December 20, 2022
Fans were questioning WWE’s authenticity after they kept promoting Lacey Evans even after her approach on autism.
//. The absolute BALLS to still promote Evans after she revealed she was an autism denier. Where's her pink slip? #JusticeForMandyRose #RehireMandyRose #FireLaceyEvans #SmackDown

My Autism has been something that has caused me alot of difficulty throughout my life. We didn't even put the Christmas tree up the past two years because the lights give me sensory overload. It affected how I was treated in school and even my diploma type. #FireLaceyEvans

While others were loathing the fact that Evans herself works for special needs children’s charity.
And the fact that wwe works with several special needs children's charity's makes her comments even more fucked up #FireLaceyEvans

WWE fans started comparing between Rose and Evans, and if what Rose did was worth getting fired for.
Mandy Rose got fired over something harmless. Lacey Evans on the other hand? That's something worth getting fired for. #FireLaceyEvans

I guess when you’re repackaged multiple times and can’t make any of your gimmicks get over, all that’s left is to talk shit about neurodiversity.#FireLaceyEvans

However, being a public figure is never easy, and one has to always please the masses for moving forward. However, Evans got on the audience’s wrong side, and this costed her fanbase. While already on massive heat, a heel return would work for her perfectly now.
