Bianca Belair’s career has been remarkably successful. Unfortunately, she has also been the target of racist remarks from others. Belair’s support for these instances was extended by other WWE stars, a sign of the wrestling community’s unity against such cruel acts.
Before WWE 2K24 was released, a promotional image of Bianca Belair with Rhea Ripley and Cody Rhodes appeared online. The aforementioned post was full of hateful remarks directed at Bianca Belair by racists who wanted her removed from the WWE.
WWE Superstars like Ivy Nile, Big E, Michin, and others came out in support of Bianca Belair and highlighted her importance to the WWE family in face of this egregious prejudice.
”. @BiancaBelairWWE is everything I strive to be in the WWE. All 3 are the hardest working and influential people in my life, and I’m so grateful to know ALL of them. Much love, B #TennesseeStrong”
”The black women in this industry face a regular barrage of racism & misogyny from “fans.” And have for far too long. You cannot diminish their light. You cannot erase their contributions to this industry.”

WWE Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley has also showered praise on Bianca Belair after racist abuse she faced on social media. Belair’s fellow cover star and current Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley tweeted:
“EST ain’t just a nickname…
@BiancaBelairWWE is a history maker, a trailblazer, and one of the nicest humans that you would have the privilege to ever meet.
Y’all just mad that she’s better than you #EST”
