If you don't follow Reby Hardy on Twitter, you're missing out. Unfiltered, unapologetic, and unafraid of speaking her mind, she has no qualms about putting others on blast, particularly her former employers. Anthem Sports & Entertainment (Impact Wrestling/GFW's parent company) have felt her wrath several times now, with her most notable takedown coming March, shortly after Matt and Jeff's departure from the company.

While Anthem's Ed Nordholm seemed to wish the Hardys well, Reby wasn't buying it. What followed was a long, venomous rant against the company's perceived mistreatment of her family, with Nordholm and Jeff Jarrett enduring the worst of it.

Claiming that Anthem had threatened to sue them for taking their Broken gimmick elsewhere (which turned out to be true), Reby called Nordholm's apparent two-facedness out, stating that the company had left them hanging in their contract negotiations, and hadn't paid Senor Benjamin, her father, for his work on Impact. A brutal assault, but the Anthem hierarchy wisely decided against responding.

It remains to be seen whether or not Reby's rants will have an impact on the Hardys' ongoing legal battle with Anthem. Either way, it was worth it for her "f*** that owl" mic drop alone.
