Allysin Kay explained on Twitter why she waited to call out Tessa Blanchard for allegedly using a racist slur towards wrestler Black Rose:
The reason I’ve never said anything until now is because it wasn’t my story to tell. I made it clear to La Rosa that I had her back, and today was the day she gave me permission. You can’t force someone to come forward, but you can be there for them. THAT is “supporting women”.

AEW star and former Impact Wrestling knockout Tanea Brooks (Rebel) backed up Kay’s story:
I like to think people change over time. But I can confirm the bad behavior & non supportive attitude in Japan, I was there https://t.co/u1e60bgdE6

Renee Michelle, who recently appeared on WWE television in the 24/7 Title segments with her husband Drake Maverick, also commented on the incident:
The day I got the call from my gf La Rosa Negra of the incident- she made me promise to keep my mouth shut because she was afraid of being blacked ball by her. As promised, I did. So I helped her get into Marvelous which is another Japanese promotion.
