WWE wrestler and Total Divas star Mandy Rose thought it would be funny to mock the afro of a black woman sitting ahead of her on an airplane, and encourage her Snapchat fans to get in on the ‘joke’. Rose Snapchatted the woman’s afro and captioned it “and for the third time today” with arrows pointing to the woman’s natural hair and the acronym “WTF.” Ironically, Rose shamed the woman while wearing cornrows -– a hair style common to and originated by black women.

Even though Snapchat stories only stay public for 24 hours, it wasn’t long before someone took a screen shot of the questionable posting. News of Rose’s shaming went viral and now the wrestler is facing backlash from many of her fans who are questioning why she would express disdain for being seated behind a black woman with an afro.
Initially, when I saw the photo, I thought that the woman was blocking Rose’s view. However, when I looked closer, the woman’s hair is in no way blocking her view of anything. The WWE star has not made any comments or statements regarding the backlash.
