For some odd reason, WWE Superstars always have some heat on them through social media. WWE Superstars Cedric Alexander and Tye Dillinger have issued apologies for offensive tweets they sent in 2011 and 2012. What were the tweets sent out, you ask?
Cedric Alexander and Ty Dillinger Say Sorry
In 2011, according to Cageside Seats’ Sean Rueter; Dillinger sent a tweet to female wrestlers to Sienna and Allie. The tweet said:
“It’s not rape if they’re sleeping.”
Dillinger apologized the other night:
“i have no excuse for my old tweets. I was a different person six years ago, and I’m beyond ashamed at what I considered “humor”. I’m so damn embrassed and I’m truly sorry to anyone I’ve offended.”
Rueter also noted that Alexander sent a tweet in 2012. Alexander tweeted how non-consensual sex isn’t rape “if you yell SURPRISE! “
Alexander tweeted his apology the other day as well.
“Six years ago I found “humor” in bad jokes. At the time it was a harmless joke between friends. In those 6 years I’ve became a father, husband, and grown into a much different man. I have offended and hurt many with my past and for that I am deeply sorry and apologize for my actions.”
It turns out, the defensive tweets have since been deleted.
