Hulk Hogan Accused Of Firing Black Brand Ambassadors & Replacing Them w/White Women

A social media influencer is making some alarming allegations about former WWE star Hulk Hogan.

The woman claimed that the entertainer abruptly terminated her contract with his new beer brand after realizing she was a Black woman, and says she was blatantly replaced with White women.

A TikTok user who goes by the name Essence Jenai made the claim in multiple uploads to her social media page yesterday (Saturday, July 6th). In one post, the influencer shared several images and videos of herself making content for and posing with Hulk Hogan, 70, for his  “Real American Beer” company, writing as a caption:

“POV: Hulk Hogan paid you to be a brand ambassador and canceled your contract the next day because he realized you were a BLACK brand ambassador”

@Hulk Hogan thanks for making it clear that you don’t work with BLACK brand ambassadors. #fypage #hulkhogan #brandambassador

In a follow-up post, the content creator alleged that she was booked for a week of promotion with the brand, but claims her contract was terminated after one day on the job. In a text exchange, presumably with whoever booked her, Essence Jenai inquires about the nature of the firing, which she was told:

“Essence. You didn’t do anything wrong at all in fact, I’m sure you did great. But this client wants us to cancel the rest of the events this week. I’m really sorry!”

However, Essence suggested that the reason she was given was not true. She went on to share images that she claims were taken “the next day,” which appeared to show Hulk Hogan continuing his brand campaign with a group of White women ambassadors instead.

At this time it doesn’t appear that Hulk Hogan nor anyone from his team has responded to the situation publicly. Reacting to the story, however, social media users were quick to recall the famous wrestler’s history with racism. In case you’re unfamiliar, Hogan came under fire back in 2015 after a video leaked of him hurling racially charged insults while discussing his daughter Brooke Hogan’s love-life.

The situation resulted in the WWE cutting ties with Hogan, and temporarily removing him from the WWE Hall of Fame. He was reinstated with the organization in 2018, however, with them noting he made:

“numerous apologies and working with young people, where he is helping them learn from his mistake.”
