10 Wrestlers Who Claimed To Be Social Media Hacking Victims
9. WWE Diva Dilemma
WWE Divas, regardless of success on-screen, are always likely to get a lot of attention through social media. After all, people love the idea of interacting with beautiful women - that fact, combined with Naomi's presence on WWE television, means the dark-haired bombshell has over 442,000 followers on Twitter. With that increased exposure comes an increased risk if things turn sour, and in October, 2014, the former Funkadactyl's Twitter account posted up a link to an adult site, asking followers to sign up and see explicit material via webcam streams. As if that wasn't enough of a PR disaster in the current PG era of WWE, another message was posted, saying, "I never feel more racist than when trying to find my waiter at a Mexican restaurant". In fairness, the posts were quickly deleted, but not before hundreds of thousands of fans had unfortunately read them. Almost as though nothing had happened, an hour or so after the deletion, another post was put up, hyping Naomi's match on that week's episode of Smackdown. The risk of kids seeing the links was definitely there, something which must have frightened all hell out of the Diva once she was linked to the tweets.
