Another day, another dawn, and another controversy around none other than Hulk Hogan. The latter has been in the headlines ever since he fired one of his employees. The reason is unclear for the sudden firing. However, the alleged reason behind such antics is racism.

Recently, Hulk Hogan hired an influencer named Essence Jenai to be the brand ambassador for his ‘Real American Beer’. However, after a day, she was suddenly fired without any reason, even after signing a major contract. Thereafter, the influencer accused the Hulkster on TikTok that she had been fired due to her ethnicity.

Jenai even posted some pictures of the new models who were hired in place of her. She strongly believes that Hogan has dismissed her due to his racist motivation. The WWE Hall of Famer has been receiving a lot of backlash ever since then on the internet. In fact, Essence even accused the 70-year-old of deceiving her by saying they had canceled the party.

Moreover, it was not the first time the former WWE Superstar was accused of racism. Hogan has been in the headlines recently for making bizarre comments. He was in trouble with NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, which generated a lot of buzz around him. It is going to be interesting to hear what the Hulkster has to say about these allegations in the weeks to come.

Hulk Hogan’s troubled history with racism

Hulk Hogan is known for making headlines with his racist thoughts. He has been in the conversation about this disgraceful topic throughout his career. As per Marca, in 2007, Hogan made some serious remarks about black people that led to his temporary removal from the Hall of Fame.

That was not it, as in 2015, there was one video that surfaced on the internet where he was using the N-word to refer to a black man and expressing his disapproval over his daughter dating someone black. The Hulkster apologized later, calling his action unacceptable.

In 2018, the former WWE star was re-established in the company as a Hall of Famer. However, as it seems, he is now on a path to even destroy all that with his recent controversy with Essence Jenai. WWE has not taken any steps to advance as of now. However, major actions are expected if this controversy catches fire.
