WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan, whose legacy has been marred by previous controversies and allegations of racism, is now confronting new accusations that could further damage his reputation. Influencer Essence Jenai has alleged that Hogan dismissed her as an ambassador for his ‘Real American Beer’ because of her race and now Jenai has revealed how her deal was cancelled mere hours after meeting Hogan.

Jenai alleged that Hogan hired her as an ambassador only to dismiss her the next day upon discovering she is Black. She took to social media to share her experience, uploading photos and detailing her sudden dismissal.

Jenai claimed that her contract with Hulk Hogan’s ‘Real American Beer’ was intended to last a week. However, after promoting the brand for only one day on July 2nd, Hogan allegedly terminated her contract. The next day, Jenai was replaced by white ambassadors. She also shared a text message from Hogan’s team that suggested Hogan wanted to cancel the events entirely. Jenai disputed this, pointing out that Hogan went ahead with the events using the new ambassadors.

While speaking to UnSKripted, Jenai explained that she was asked for permission to share her Instagram ID with Hulk Hogan’s team. She described the release process as very interesting. During the event, she had great interactions with Real American Beer, with Hogan arriving later. The team loved her, complimented her, and they exchanged contact information. They also posted her content on their Instagram. After the event, they gave her a hug and said goodbye, indicating they would see her the next day.

After her event ended at 5 p.m., she received a call from her agency within an hour. Her agent asked how the event went, and Jenai mentioned that they loved her. Her agent then asked if she had any pictures. Jenai explained that she didn’t have a phone during the event but sent a selfie with Hogan. The agent responded positively and asked if they could share her Instagram with Hogan. Jenai found it odd since she had already shared her Instagram with Hogan. She was then asked if she could send her Instagram to Hogan’s team.

Jenai approved, saying it was fine to share her Instagram. However, within two hours, she received a text message from her agency, not even a professional email. The message said she did great, but unfortunately, the client wanted to cancel.

”The release process was very interesting. Throughout the event I had great interactions with Real American Beer. Hulk Hogan didn’t arrive later on into the event, so throughout event they loved me, complimented me, we exchanged contact information, they posted my content on their Instagram. Even after the event was over, they gave me a hug and said ‘Bye, we’ll see you tomorrow.’ So after my event, which ended at 5, within an hour, I get a call from my agency. My agent asked me how the event went and I went they loved me. He’s like ‘Okay cool did you get pictures? I’m like I didn’t have a phone throughout the event, but I do have a selfie with Hulk Hogan and sent that to him. Instantly got an amazing resonse and I’m like ‘Wow you look, do you mind if I share your Instagram with him?’ I thought that was very odd because I just shared my Instagram with him[Hogan] so why do you need my Instagram? I was asked if I could send my Instagram to Hulk Hogan’s team.

So of course I approved, ‘ya sure go look at my Instagram, I don’t mind.’ So within two, maybe two hours after that, that’s when I received the message. A text message at that, not even a professional e-mail. A text message [from her agency] saying you did great, ‘I am sure you did nothing wrong, but unfortunately this client wants to cancel.’

Throughout the event, I had nothing but great interactions with Real American Beer. And for them to invite me back the next day, and mention that the next day we were getting on a yacht, we were going to multiple locations. I just thought that it was very odd that I see them at the event, the same event that I was invited to on that same yacht that I was invited to be on with other brand ambassadors that look nothing like me.”

Hulk Hogan has since moved on from the situation as he made an appearance at the Republican National Convention but he ended up creating controversy after making racially insensitive remarks about Kamala Harris. Regardless, Essence Jenai will always find this whole ordeal bizarre and that’s never changing.
