Hulk Hogan’s Beer Company Responds After Alleged Racism Against Employee
I had no idea Hulk Hogan launched his own beer, did you? It’s probably because it was just launched on June 13th of this year! So, its still very new which requires a lot of promotion. When you want to promote an alcohol brand, the smart thing would be to get cute girls. It’s something that I see often at bars, clubs and liquor stores. Cute girls getting people to try new beer or alcohol brands. With that being said a Tampa woman by the name of Essence Jenai says she was hired to promote Real American Beer but was fired after only working one day. Why was she fired? Essence believes it’s because she is black. Reps from Real American Beer however claim this is not true.
Tampa Woman Claims Hulk Hogan Fired Her Because She Is Black
According To Essence, Hulk Hogan canceled his contract with her after he found out she was black. Essence who is also an influencer went to TikTok to explain what happened. She says she was paid to be a brand ambassador but devastated after learning that she would no longer be needed after only working one day. Watch the video below.
Real American Beer Has Denied These Accusations
A Representative from Real American Beer has released a statement saying, “Real American Beer is deeply troubled by the false rumor circulating on social media that a brand ambassador hired by a third-party marketing agency was terminated by Hulk Hogan for racial reasons. That is false and defamatory. While the company ended its short-term relationship with the agency, race was not a factor, and Hulk Hogan was not involved in that decision. We are in communication with the agency to stop the spread of this spurious allegation and believe it will be withdrawn.”
This is not Hogans first time being accused of racism. Back in 2015 a video surface of Hogan disapproving of his daughter dating a black man. He has since apologized for it and was reinstated to the WWE Hall of fame in 2018.
