During last night's premiere episode of E!s Total Divas, former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis posted numerous messages on Twitter slamming the twin duo's real-life characters—she has claimed multiple times in recent weeks that Nikki and Brie prevented her from returning to the sports-entertainment organization earlier this year through political means. This drew a great negative reaction from fans on the social media outlet. Her boyfriend, Ring of Honor wrestler Mike Bennett, posted a statement on Twitter on Monday defending her right to speak out.

"Funny that the same people who complain about what's wrong w wrestling, are the same ones who blast someone when they speak out against it," Bennett wrote. "Nobody gets anywhere by going w the crowd. stand up for what u believe in, or just keep ur mouth shut and follow blindly.

He continued, "I respect someone who has the balls to speak up,and if that makes them bitter and jealous. What does it make the ones who r afraid to speak."

Kanellis added, "Family, fancy, friends, dogs, morals, and career are all things I will ALWAYS protect. No one has the right to do damage to my future."[/quote]

I have absolutely no sympathy for Maria.

For one thing, Brie Bella at least tried to work on her wrestling ability when she was under her first WWE contract, while Nikki worked on her acting ability. The WWE had to give Maria the "dumb hot chick" gimmick to cover up the fact that she could not act and didn't really care for improving in the ring.

Secondly, after Maria left, Maria tried to sabotage the Bellas careers by making very unprofessional comments about them. No wonder the Bellas did not want her back in the WWE.

Having an awful personality is not the same as "having the balls to speak the truth".
