Tessa Blanchard shares PMs with La Rosa Negra, comments on past allegations
Tessa Blanchard has shared private messages with La Rosa Negra on social media.
In early 2020, several female wrestlers accused Blanchard of bullying and other backstage behaviours, including an incident where she is alleged to have used a racial slur during an argument with La Rosa Negra in 2017.
On Saturday, Blanchard wrote that she and La Rosa Negra are on good terms and shared private messages the two have exchanged.
Blanchard captioned her post with:
“La Rosa and I are on very good terms and talk every now and then, usually about wrestling! Would love to get her in TNA one day.”
The private messages exchanged in the photo Blanchard attached read:
Blanchard: “Honestly, I don’t think it’s worth rehashing. It’s in the past, and we’ve both moved forward. At this point, it’s really no one else’s business. I’m just glad we’re in a better place now, and I’d rather focus on that.
We remember things differently, and that’s okay. However, we both know race had nothing to do with what happened that night. At the end of the day, what matters is where we are now, not what’s behind us. I hope you keep succeeding & doing your best because I love to see it!!! ❤️“
La Rosa Negra replied: “Hahahaha let me defend you in TNA!!!!
Jajajaja i was talking with Moody Jack about story lines and the reel of the (in ring) came out!!!
We start laughing in good way and well…… just hoping u are well!! ✌️”
Blanchard and La Rosa Negra also released a joint Instagram post in 2023 that Blanchard captioned with, “Time, growth, and healing. A picture is worth a thousand words.”
