Did Addison Rae get fired from UFC? TikTok star responds to interview backlash Instagram: addisonraeeTikTok sensation Addison Rae has responded after she was slammed on Twitter for \u2018taking jobs\u2019 by doing some reporting work for the UFC. 20-year-old Addison Rae was trending Twitter on July 10 after she posted a couple of images of her holding a microphone in front of the UFC background. She captioned it: \u201cI studied broadcast journalism in college for 3 whole months to prepare for this moment,\u201d referring to her brief stint at Louisiana State University studying sports broadcasting before she blew up on TikTok.

Others criticized her for her caption about her short-lived college studies. Addison Rae responds to backlash Amid the Twitter storm, the TikToker quote tweeted her own tweet with the caption, \u201cnvm y\u2019all got me fired.\u201d She also retweeted a Barstool tweet with a picture of her next to the caption, \u201cmost hated UFC commentator ever.\u201d While Addison\u2019s tweets were likely intended as a lighthearted response to the situation, it\u2019s not exactly clear whether she has actually been \u201cfired,\u201d as she didn\u2019t say whether it was just intended to be a one-off appearance, or if she had arranged an ongoing role with the UFC. Although she received a great deal of backlash, countless fellow creators and fans have tried to counter some of the criticism with support, with many saying that there was nothing wrong with her appearance and that the hate is undeserved. Both fans and critics alike will now be keeping an eye out for any future work Addison might do with the UFC to find out if she was really fired, but whether she returns to her reporting role or not, she has plenty of other work on the horizon, like her upcoming album.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
