Social media influencer Essence Jenai claims she was fired as a brand ambassador on the first day of working for Hulk Hogan.
In a pair of TikTok's posted to her account, Jenai made the claim that she was hired as a brand ambassador for Hogan's Real American beer, and was quickly fired after her first day on the job. Jenai would then claim that she was fired for being black, highlighting that her replacement for the job was a white woman. Jenai also provided screenshots where she had been told that the events she was scheduled for were no longer happening.
@essencejenai @Hulk Hogan thanks for making it clear that you don’t work with BLACK brand ambassadors. #fypage #hulkhogan #brandambassador Shake Dat Ass (Twerk Song) - BossMan Dlow

Hogan's beer brand, Real American beer launched last month and the former WWE superstar. A spokesman for the brand said "
"We are deeply troubled by the false rumor circulating on social media that a brand ambassador hired by a third-party marketing agency was terminated by Hulk Hogan for racial reasons. Real American Beer simply terminated its short-term relationship with the third-party marketing agency. Hulk Hogan was not involved in that decision, and race was not a factor. We are in communication with the agency in an attempt to clear the misunderstanding and incorrect information, and believe that this false statement will be withdrawn."
Hogan has previously gone through much controversy over racially motivated comments in the past. You can read more here.
