I mentioned this in a status and other conversations about this before, but this is kind of a big double standard moment. There have been several people with private videos leaked over the years with little consequence, and not to mention we have seen examples of wrestlers having DUIs, abuse allegations, and more, with little to no consequence. And this is also a touch odd given her character has been sexualized on Television and in an interview with Athena, it has been hinted at that during NXT's 2.0 era, WWE was trying to tell the female wrestlers to dress more "sexy." Granted now there has been a regime change, but it is also the same company who had their roster playboy model.
I'm also not saying that WWE is guaranteed wrong for letting her go. Legally, at least from what I know of Canadian Employment law and some similarities with the US, Off-Duty conduct can give reason for dismissal if the conduct "potentially threatens the employer's economic interests" and there can be a "nexus between the employee's behaviour and the employer's legitimate business interests." That's just the Canadian standard. I know the United States there is even less protection in most states. So legally, they may have a right, but it doesn't make this less weird. An inconsistency. Even if some action could have been taken like telling her to "tone it down" or whatever, like, is termination the right way to go?
OH AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW THE FACT WWE'S WRESTLERS ARE STILL CONSIDERED "INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS" BUT THAT IS A RANT FOR ANOTHER TIME!
