Homophobic pro wrestler and former gay-for-pay adult film performer Lars Sullivan is back in the news again and, of course, it’s not for anything good.
This time, the WWE SmackDown star, who has a long history of making racist and homophobic remarks, is being accused of sexually harassing his personal trainer on Instagram.
Annika Naidoo-Fuge is a yoga instructor who Sullivan worked with for a while. This week, she shared screenshots with Bodyslam.net of alleged unsolicited DMs he sent calling her beautiful, complimenting her legs, admiring her sports bra, and asking to see pictures of her butt.
“Hope you’re having a great day so far today beautiful,” one of the messages reads.
How about we take this to the next level?

“I’m totally enamored with your profile today hon haha,” another says.
“The post of yours in the black shots and sports bra,” a third message reads. “Whewsh.”
“Incredibly beautiful. I absolutely love your legs. You got any booty pics in those hon?” a fourth message asks and includes a naughty face emoji.
Eventually, screenshots show Naidoo-Fuge responding by telling Sullivan that she can no longer work with him and will be refunding his money.
“I told you before I block people who send me messages like this,” she writes, “so you’ve kind of had a warning. I don’t have time to work with clients who don’t respect boundaries — I’m a happily married woman.”
Speaking to Bodyslam about the messages, Naidoo-Fuge said she had been “friendly” with Sullivan for about a year but that “the inappropriate comments only started recently.”
“I just think it’s a little sad that men feel they can send messages like that,” she said. “It’s insulting.”
Insulting, indeed. Though it fits with other vile things Sullivan has said and done in the past. Last year, he was exposed for posting dozens of racist, sexist, and homophobic remarks on an online message board at BodyBuilding.com over a seven year period.
Shortly after the bigoted posts resurfaced, so did an old clip of Sullivan appearing as “Mitch Bennett” in a gay adult film by porn mogul Randy Blue. Viewers quickly identified Sullivan by the tattoo on his arm.

Sullivan has not responded to the latest allegations made against him by Naidoo-Fuge, but WWE insiders say officials within the organization are “aware” of the situation and that support for him is waning.
WWE is aware of Lars Sullivans’ latest “troubles” and it’s beyond safe to say he doesn’t have many supporters left in the locker room. However, one of those supporters has the ultimate say, so that’s that.

I think it would’ve been easier to at least pretend to be a decent person. Just sad.

Ol’ Mitch wasn’t really bad to look at when he was younger. The damn shame is he got older. And by the way, does anyone else get the feeling that they too have read this post on Queerty or somewhere else before? I can almost swear it was a few months ago something about this guy got posted because I remember seeing that so called gay video clip.

Wow, time was not good to him.

He could not even get a proper hard on. Probably all the steroids

Damn! The girl did not age gracefully. He was also a gay for pay escort.

Nothing more exciting than a porn star with ED.

I am so sick of this literal hideous troll! Why are WWE protecting him? There is exceptional talent out there and they want him? Why, because he’s roided up? Who the hell cares how big he is! This man has been proven by HIS OWN WORDS to be a racst, misogynistic, homophobic gay-for-pay, piece of trash. What exactly will it take for WWE to get the message… Oh wait I forgot, Vince is Trumps best friend. How much do you want to bet that this excuse for a wrestler is also 100 percent MAGA.

The answer is pretty simple. Until he costs them money instead of making it for them, they will support his ass.
