Maria Kanellis is done staying silent. The former WWE star went head-to-head with a Twitter troll on July 27, 2025, after posting a message about growth and forgiveness. What started as a personal reflection turned into a full-on war of wordsand Maria brought the heat right back.
After she tweeted about learning from past mistakes, one user@kode2knowaccused her and husband Mike Bennett of manipulating their employers during tough times. The tweet hit below the belt, dragging Bennetts past addiction and their family into it. The troll wrote that they werent attacking her parenting but claimed both she and Bennett took advantage of companies who gave them opportunities.
The same account went on a tirade, slamming Maria for what they called her moral compass attitude and comparing her to Hulk Hogan.
Maria didnt let it slide. She reposted the messages publicly and turned the situation into a challenge. Addressing the troll directly, she dared them to confront her in person at an upcoming convention.
She continued defending her personal journey and stood by her past choicesrefusing to be shamed for motherhood, recovery, or speaking up when she feels its necessary. Maria Kanellis isnt just talking about accountabilityshes living it. And this time, shes ready to say it all straight to your face.
Do you think Maria was right to take this public and confront the troll directly or should she have just ignored him? Please share your thoughts and feedback in the comment section below.
