Fans on social media think this is a controversial move by TNA. In January 2020, several female wrestlers accused Blanchard of bullying and racism, including an incident where she allegedly spat in a black woman’s face and used a racial slur. The woman involved, Black Rose, later confirmed that the incident had occurred. Blanchard, however, denied the accusations.
