"We do have the platform to make a difference and voice our opinions on certain things like that -- In terms of her appearance being criticized, aren't we past that?

I know that we're superstars and people see us as untouchable, but we're human. When you see negativity like that, it's got to hurt her."

Meltzer has apologized multiple times for the comments he made, but WWE superstars have been unrelenting in defending one half of the IIconics.
