Lacey Evans Now Targeting Social Media With Bogus Copyright Takedowns

Evans, using her real name Macey Estrella, has filed over 13,000 takedown requests via Google, many of which involve content she doesnt legally own. These include public WWE appearances, her own social media posts, and news articles reporting on her exit from WWE and launch into OnlyFans.

Now things are escalating. Ringside News received a copyright takedown notice via Reddit after we shared a direct link to an article titled Lacey Evans Hits More Wrestling Sites With False DMCA Claims in Ongoing Effort to Erase WWE and OnlyFans History. That article was entirely original contentwritten and published by Ringside News. Still, the post was taken down.

The message from Reddit stated the takedown was due to a reported copyright violation, removing the link under their copyright policy. The link now leads to a message reading [Removed by Reddit in response to a copyright notice.]

It remains unclear whether this complaint came directly from Evans or through a third-party representative. Evans is believed to be working with an organization known as The Venus Group, which appears to be facilitating these mass takedown efforts.

While Reddit is the most recent confirmed example, theres growing concern that other platformssuch as X/Twitter, Facebook, or Instagramcould also be receiving similar complaints. If true, this would mean Evans or her team are actively targeting anyone sharing news about her past, not just publishers.

These arent just minor complaints. Theyre deliberate moves to silence discussion, reporting, and commentaryall of which fall under fair use. This is no longer about protecting content.

Trying to erase the same media coverage that once boosted her WWE profile is a slippery move, especially when it involves copyright abuse. Ringside News is actively countering every false claim filed against our contentand were not the only ones watching.
