“He has to bear the albatross of being a bigot and working in a company that is now filled with minorities.”
Comments allegedly posted by WWE star Dylan “Lars Sullivan” Miley in an online forum have been uncovered by fans, and have caused many to urge the company to let Miley go.
The sentiments expressed in posts that range from 2008-2013 appear to have been posted by the wrestler include homophobic, racist, sexist views.
A post on Reddit appears to heavily suggest that it was Miley who posted the comments, though it has not been definitely proved that it was him, and Miley has not responded to the accusations.
WWE star Big E responded to a twitter user who asked him if he was aware of the comments, to which he replied: “Many are aware. If true, he has to bear the albatross of being a big and working in a company that is now filled with minorities.”
Many are aware. If true, he has to bear the albatross of being a bigot & working in a company that is now filled with minorities.

WWE are yet to respond to the claims.
This isn’t the first time that Big E has responded to issues involving race in the WWE.
In 2018, he alongside Kofi Kingston penned a letter following the decision made to allow Hulk Hogan back into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Hogan was initially suspended from the Hall of Fame as a result of racist and hateful comments made towards black people.
