Addison Rae under fire for \u2018taking jobs\u2019 with UFC reporter role Twitter: whoisaddisonTikTok star Addison Rae is facing backlash after she posted images of her working with the UFC, with some claiming she\u2019s \u2018taking jobs\u2019 from qualified journalists. Being one of TikTok\u2019s most popular stars with over 80 million followers, Addison Rae has been able to participate in a huge array of opportunities throughout her short career in social media. The influencer has released her own song, is planning her debut album, and is even starring in the movie \u2018He\u2019s All That\u2019 which is due to release on August 27. However, she often receives a great deal of backlash when starting up a new project, and this time has been no different. On July 9 she posted a picture to Instagram showing her wearing some UFC workout gear, getting fans curious as to what Addison could be doing with the company. Not long after, she posted several images to Twitter appearing to show her working as a reporter for the UFC. \u201cI studied broadcast journalism in college for 3 whole months to prepare for this moment,\u201d she joked.

However, many people have taken issue with the fact that Addison has been able to work with the UFC in that role, claiming that she\u2019s taking the position from people who have worked for years to achieve a similar role. \u201cSo you\u2019re taking a job from someone who [dedicates] their time and money to get such a job, whereas you get it because of fame,\u201d one frustrated Twitter user wrote. so your taking a job from someone who delicates their time and money to get such a job, whereas you get it because of fame. we all know that if she wasn\u2019t famous, 3 months wouldn\u2019t cut it. \u2014 elianna \ud83d\udcb0. (@eliannancampos) July 10, 2021 Others claimed she took the job \u201cwithout seeing all the suffering of each journalism student,\u201d many criticizing her for getting the position thanks to her fame. and to think that many people work day and night to pay for a university degree and for you to come and take away the job without seeing all the suffering of each journalism student. LMAOO Money fixes everything, I wish I had money and fame \u2014 Valeee (@Valeesepulveda_) July 10, 2021 So what makes you qualified to do this job and not someone who genuinely loves mma \u2014 walker \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8\ud83d\udc51 (@WalkerMMA) July 10, 2021 While a TikTok of Addison interviewing Dustin Poirier got a similar response, there were some defending the star, saying it\u2019s \u201cpretty cool she\u2019s getting the chance,\u201d and calling out others for hating on her. Even Minecraft YouTuber Dream commented on the images after they caused such a stir online. people tell you to get a real job and then are mad when you get one smh \/s\u2014 dream (@dreamwastaken) July 10, 2021 Following all the backlash and going viral on Twitter, Addison herself cheekily commented that the internet\u2019s reaction had actually gotten her fired, just 18 hours after the initial tweet. That\u2026 escalated quickly! Jokes aside though, with her album and movie coming up it\u2019s clear that Addison already has a very busy calendar, but even despite the backlash, fans will be keeping an eye out to see what work she does with UFC in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
