With the fan following that they have, their words carry weight and it is their social responsibility to speak out about what concerns them. However, sharing your views, especially on social media, can get you in front of the firing line. A WWE star recently found themselves sleep-walking into trouble.

Social media can be a really difficult place to handle, especially when you are famous or hold differing views on any given subject. WWE personality Kayla Braxton found this out the hard way after she called out Candace Cameron on Twitter. She received a lot of flak and eventually deactivated her Twitter account.

Fans react to Kayla Braxton deactivating Twitter to negative remarks

Kayla Braxton is one of the most likable WWE personalities around. She is often seen backstage on TV  interviewing stars and she also hosts a few WWE shows. Away from the ring, she usually shares her thoughts on social media and is pretty vocal with her thoughts. But one such tweet led to some trouble for Braxton.

Braxton revealed she received hateful remarks for calling out Candace Cameron. In an interview with Wall Street Journal, American actress and producer Candace Cameron said that she wanted to bring Christianity back to Christmas movies. She had said, “I think that the Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core”, which excluded the LGBTQ community.

The negative remarks were too much for Braxton, who ended up deactivating her Twitter account. As this news came out, fans took to Twitter to sympathize with the WWE star.

 

 

There was plenty of support for Kayla, as fans criticized the trolls for their behavior.

 

Some fans said they enjoyed her presence on Twitter.
