By Fernando Quiles JrShareNewsweek is a Trust Project memberA WWE fan has faced repercussions after posting an AI clip of him being kissed by AJ Lee at the Big Event NY Expo. The video has been heavily criticized by those within the professional wrestling industry, but it appears the fan, Chris Horror, has doubled down. Despite Lee's request to have the video taken down, Horror has refused to pull the simulated content.
As a result of Horror's actions, he has been banned from all future Big Event NY conventions and shows. Many are calling for Horror to also be on WWE's ban list for his behavior.

WWE Fan Incidents With Female Stars
Horror's AI video of Lee is another example of WWE continuing to face issues with how certain fans treat female talent. Injured "WWE Raw" star Liv Morgan and former WWE name Sonya Deville have had to get law enforcement involved due to stalker incidents.
Roxanne Perez of The Judgment Day received death threats online earlier this year, and WWE reportedly heightened security measures in response. Back in July, Perez responded to the threats during an interview with the San Antonio Express-News. She praised WWE for taking action quickly and said she feels safe. She urged fans to choose their words carefully on social media because they don't know how harmful their posts online can be.
One of WWE's top stars, Rhea Ripley, also dealt with a scary situation back in August during the company's trip to Paris. Overzealous fans blocked her car door while asking for pictures when she was trying to leave the area.
