Social media influencer Essence Jenai has made allegations that she was terminated as a brand ambassador for Real American beer, a brand associated with Hulk Hogan, after only one day of employment.
Jenai posted images on her TikTok account depicting her involvement in promoting Hogan’s new beer brand, followed by her abrupt dismissal. She wrote,
“STORY TIME: Hulk Hogan paid me to be a brand Ambassador and this happened…My contract was for a week…After one day of promoting his brand…He cancelled my contract because ???”
She proceeded to share a photo of her replacement brand ambassadors, both Caucasian, and a screenshot of a text conversation in which a PR representative informed her of the cancellation of all upcoming events for the week.
Despite this, Jenai revealed that an event with Hogan and the new brand ambassadors took place the following day, implying through captions that there was no place for her and the other initially hired brand ambassadors.
Jenai shared a second video of herself and another black brand ambassador at the initial event with Hogan. The text in the video reads,
“POV: Hulk Hogan paid you to be a brand ambassador and cancelled your contract the next day because he realized you were a BLACK brand ambassador.”
