WWE star Chelsea Green, currently recovering from an injury ahead of WrestleMania 42, shared details of an unsettling experience involving a celebrity couple. During an appearance on Brandi Rhodes’ show, Green recounted how a well-known couple seemingly ignored her during a dinner meeting in 2023.
The event involved WWE personalities Cody Rhodes, Matt Cardona, Brandi Rhodes, and Chelsea Green meeting actors Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka while on a Disney outing. Though photos of the group went viral, Green revealed that the two-time WWE Women’s United States Champion was largely dismissed by the celebrity couple despite their cordiality with others present.
Brandi Rhodes recalled the incident on her show, describing the disconnect Chelsea felt.
“We’ll get a picture together, and it’s wonderful, and then they leave. And then Chelsea’s like, ‘Well, you were just sitting there chatting up with them and having all these conversations, and they would hardly talk to me. I just don’t understand.’ I was like, ‘You don’t understand, why? Because these two happily married men didnt’ have a whole lot to say to you? I was like here! I can hardly talk to you tonight, it’s so much,” Brandi said.
Responding to this, Green added a humorous yet candid comment about the situation.
“They ignored me. They’re gay, they love b**bs. Yeah, he really wouldn’t look my way,” Green said.
Incident at Hotel: Chelsea Green and Maxxine Dupri Mistaken for Escorts
In 2024, Chelsea Green went public with another troubling event, revealing on social media that she had been ejected from a hotel because security personnel mistook her for an escort. Although she had a legitimate reservation, the attire she was wearing led the bouncers to question her presence at the venue.
Green elaborated on the episode during a follow-up appearance on A Shot of Brandi, explaining that she was not the only one affected. Maxxine Dupri, another WWE woman, was with Green at the time and was similarly wrongly assumed to be an escort, resulting in both being removed from the hotel.
Implications of the Experiences for Chelsea Green and WWE Women
These incidents highlight ongoing challenges faced by Chelsea Green and other WWE women related to perception and treatment both within and outside the wrestling world. The dismissal by a celebrity couple during a friendly encounter and the mistaken identity at a hotel expose issues of bias and misunderstanding.
For Green, who is a recognized WWE women’s champion, these disappointments underline the hurdles that even successful female athletes face beyond the ring. Such experiences may spark conversations about respect, recognition, and the stereotypes female wrestlers often confront during public appearances and personal encounters.
