In early 2024, WWE superstar Chelsea Green faced a troubling situation when the Fairmont Hotel in New York wrongly accused her of being an escort. Maxxine Dupri, also a WWE talent, was with Green during the incident, standing by her as they both endured unfair treatment. The episode has left a lasting impression on Green, reflecting the emotional toll of the experience.
Details of the Incident at the Fairmont Hotel Bar
During a recent interview on A Shot Of Brandi, Chelsea Green recounted the moment the hotel’s staff confronted her and Maxxine Dupri. As they entered the Fairmont Hotel seeking a drink at the lobby bar, bouncers stopped them without explanation. Despite Green’s history of visiting the hotel with her father, the security team acted dismissively and accused them of trespassing.
I walked in the front door. Keep in mind, like I have gone to this hotel with my dad, you know what I mean? Like whenever we’re in New York, like we go and like have a little drink or whatever. Cute little vibe, and I was with Maxxine (Dupri). So we go in, (did Maxxine get kicked out too?) Yes, but she’s so like sweet that she never spoke up about it. So just know that everything that happened to me also happened to Maxxine. So we go in, we walk up to the bar, which is like right in the lobby. Like we walk up to the entrance of the bar. The bouncers are standing on either side. They don’t say anything. Like we walk in, we walk through and then they go, ‘Hey, hey, hey, hey, you!’ I’m like, ‘oh’, and we like turn around and we’re like, ‘yes?’ They’re like, ‘where do you think you’re going,’ and we’re like ‘going to the bar for a drink?’ and they’re like you’re not allowed in here and I’m like ‘what? What do you mean?’ I didn’t know what was going on and they were like, ‘only guests of the hotel are allowed’ and I’m like okay, like I’ve done this before but okay and they’re like being so rude and literally Maxxine is like, ‘I don’t understand, like I don’t understand why you’re being so rude,’ and I’m like trying to figure out what’s going on. Then a hotel guest comes through and sees that this is happening and says to the bouncer, it’s like, ‘no, they’re fine. They can come and have a drink at the bar. I’ll let them in. I’m staying.’ So then he really thinks we’re escorts, but he already- it was so obvious. He already thought that just the way he was treating us before. He goes like- ‘I know what you guys are doing here’ Like all that stuff. Like it was so presumptuous, and the fact that there’s no way that they would tell a hotel guest, that a hotel guest cannot bring a guest in.

The bouncers’ assumption and dismissive attitude caused distress for both women, with Maxxine Dupri quietly enduring the situation without complaint. A hotel guest’s intervention briefly eased the confrontation but did not change the initial disrespect they faced.
Long-Standing Impact of the Accusation on Chelsea Green
Although the Fairmont Hotel later issued an apology, Chelsea Green continues to process how the event affected her, especially as it questioned her integrity and honor in a public setting. The support shown by Maxxine Dupri during this moment of vulnerability highlights the camaraderie among WWE performers.
This incident raises important concerns about assumptions made based on appearances and how women, even public figures like Green and Dupri, can face unfair treatment in everyday situations. The distress caused by such accusations remains a sensitive topic in discussions about respect and dignity.
The WWE community and fans have expressed solidarity with both Green and Dupri, recognizing the emotional strain caused by the episode. This situation also underscores the need for sensitivity and better conduct from hospitality staff when handling guests.
Looking Ahead: Awareness and the Role of Public Support
The episode at the Fairmont Hotel serves as a reminder that public figures often endure prejudiced treatment beyond the wrestling ring. Maxxine Dupri’s unwavering support of Chelsea Green during the incident exemplifies the powerful role allies play in confronting injustice. Fans and organizations alike may expect ongoing conversations about respect, fairness, and the impact of stereotyping in similar contexts going forward.
As both women continue their careers in WWE, this experience may influence how they engage with their audiences and advocate for those who face unwarranted judgment. The incident also invites hospitality venues to evaluate their policies and staff training to prevent such misunderstandings in the future.
