WWE star Jey Uso sends message to fans: Please don’t ‘poke me or touch me’ in public
On his Instagram stories, WWE star Jey Uso made a couple of posts regarding interactions he’s had with fans recently.
Uso sent out a message on Sunday night asking fans who see him in public not to poke or touch him. He said it’s something that has been happening to him repeatedly.
“IF U SEE ME in public shi Please don’t walk up and poke me Or touch me,” Uso wrote. “How many strangers poke yall ass in a day?? Bout 38 for me…”
Inappropriate fan behavior is something that WWE stars like AJ Lee, CM Punk, and Rhea Ripley have also addressed in recent months. In November, Lee met a fan at the Big Event Entertainment & Sports Expo who later created an AI video to make it seem like he and Lee were kissing each other. Lee called the video “inappropriate” and “harassment” — and the fan has been banned from attending any of the Big Event’s shows or conventions in the future.
Uso welcomes positive interactions with fans, though, with him sending out a post earlier on Sunday showing appreciation for a woman who asked him how he’s doing personally.
“I love my fans right…. But to the lady who asked me about ‘me’ today.. Appreciate you,” Uso wrote. “U know who you are.. YEET”
Uso’s team was on the losing side of the men’s WarGames match at Survivor Series this past weekend. He remains in contention to win WWE’s Last Time is Now Tournament to determine John Cena’s final opponent. Uso vs. LA Knight and Gunther vs. Solo Sikoa are the two semifinal matchups.
