Ronda Rousey has been spreading the news of her new graphic novel ‘Expecting The Unexpected’ tirelessly on social media. This is indeed her debut book in the realm of graphic novels. But little did she know that one of her mistakes from about 111 years ago would come to haunt her. 

Rousey took to Instagram and announced that she would be answering some questions on Reddit and talking about the new graphic novel. She posted a picture of herself holding a sheet of paper that read, “r/squaredcircle AMA!” In the captions, the former UFC champion wrote, “I’m gunna be jumping on @reddit to talk my debut graphic novel #ExpectingTheUnexpected and it’s pro wrestling inspired fight scenes at 9:30am PST! Check the link in my bio to back the project – see you guys there.”

However, things didn’t go as she expected. The fight fans quickly reflected on the controversy surrounding the former UFC contender and the Sandy Hook Massacre. On the 23rd of August, ‘Rowdy’ sent forth an apology letter for sharing a controversial video about the Sandy Hook massacre on social media. Even though she quickly deleted the video, the WWE star didn’t fail to apologize for her mistake. But she was 11 years late.

As soon as Rousey shared the details about the AMA on Instagram, the fight fans took over the comments section and revealed their thoughts. Let’s see what they had to say.

Fight fans weigh in on Ronda Rousey’s controversial post

With the apology letter for her controversial social media post going viral on X, the fight fans commended the former UFC bantamweight champion for coming out clean. One of the fans wrote, “Massive props for her apology. That’s the new gold standard for celebrity apologies and she deserves forgiveness. There has to be a path for redemption in a society- if someone can show humility in apology, people can show humility in forgiveness.” Meanwhile, another fan commented, “Great apology. It was real and heartfelt.”

But as soon as ‘Rowdy’ took a sigh of relief, the fight fans began bashing her in the comments section. One of the fans pointed out that Rousey deleted the questions about Sandy Hook and asked, “why you deleting sandy hook questions?” Another fan added, “That went as well as your comments about sandy hook.”

Needless to say, things didn’t go as Rousey had planned. And the netizens were well aware of it all. One fan wrote, “This isn’t gonna go the way she’s hoping.” Some of the fans lashed out at Rousey for her mistakes and said, “So out of touch in everything she does in life. Smh.”

But when it came to the AMA session on Reddit, the fans were left in utter disappointment. One fan simply asked, “so have you answered any questions ????” Even some netizens admitted that the session wasn’t as good as they thought it would be. A fan wrote, “Spoilers alert it went badly.”

With the apology surrounding the Sandy Hook controversy accepted by the fans, Rousey has undeniably felt a massive pang of relief. But at the same time, many fans were unhappy about her taking more than a decade to come out clean. What are your thoughts on Rousey’s apology letter? And what do you think of her new graphic novel?
