The WWE has fired Zahra Schreiber over her controversial social media behavior, which includes support of the swastika, a symbol most closely associated with the Nazi party.
The company fired Schreiber, who is the girlfriend of WWE superstar Seth Rollins and a NXT wrestler, for “inappropriate and offensive remarks.”
The posts in question came from 2012. In one photo posted to her Instagram, Schreiber showed she has two swastika images hanging in her bedroom. The other shows My Little Pony with a swastika armband, arm raised in a Heil Hitler salute, and a Hitler mustache.
Schreiber saw plenty of feedback upon posting the images in 2012 and defended them.
“The swastika means prosperity and luck,” she wrote in response to one comment. “It was around way before hitler turned it into an icon. Take it how you want I could careless. This is too funny.
“it’s really not anyone’s business anyway. I can post whatever photos I want, if you don’t like them my feelings won’t be hurt if you unfollow.”
Schreiber was also part of a controversy in February when naked photos of her were released through Rollins’ Twitter account. Rollins was engaged to another woman at the time, but they split and he is now dating Schreiber.
I would like to apologize to all the WWE fans and my family and friends for private photographs that were distributed without my consent.

Schreiber’s Twitter and Instagram accounts are both private now as she goes through this scrutiny.
Between what went on with Hulk Hogan recently and this, we can see the WWE is taking a harsh stance against inappropriate behavior.
