WWE NXT star Jaida Parker has recently become the center of multiple controversies, stemming from her social media activity and circulating rumors within the wrestling community.
Instagram Activity Sparks Backlash
The controversy began when Parker liked an Instagram post that described the U.S. House of Representatives’ passage of the “Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act,” a bill that would ban transgender athletes assigned male at birth from competing in women’s and girls’ sports in federally funded schools.
The action quickly received backlash from fans and commentators for being transphobic.
In response to the backlash, Parker took to X to defend her stance, stating:
“Oh I’d love too. @clotheslinings wants to be messy & that’s fine cause ignorance is contagious but what they not gon do is come @ my name cause my opinion doesn’t align with theirs & clearly don’t know how to educate themselves on the real definition of being ‘transphobic’. ♀️”
She solidified her stance further by proclaiming an opinion as a former Division 1 athlete in support of the LGBTQ community but said this is what she thought.
Jey Uso Rumors
As the social media backlash continues to come in, rumors started milling in the IWC of Parker having an alleged affair with fellow WWE star Jey Uso.
A video drove this rumor claimed to show both of them in revelry, although, in that video, real proof does not lie since neither of them was showing their face clearly.
There is a sense of skepticism for such speculations, claiming such kind of news is nothing more than a smear campaign against Parker’s character.

One fan added, “So im seeing the timeline or should i say the IWC are making a rumor about Jaida Parker [and] Jey Uso. Now y’all just want to ruin that woman’s WWE career just because y’all didn’t agree with what she liked on her Instagram.”
Community Reaction
The wrestling community remains divided over these issues.
While some fans immediately jump on Parker for her social media activity, others offer a defense and a suggestion that unfounded rumors can get out of hand quickly and do irreparable damage to personal and professional relationships.
Jaida Parker carrying that type of reputation this early in her career is unfortunate and disappointing.. She was a fan favorite too. The Internet doesn’t forget. She’s never gonna live this down.

She has her reasons. You have yours.
