Jordan Myles has issued a statement about his recent behavior on social media.
Myles stated on Instagram that his comments on Twitter over the past two days “were completely disrespectful and were unprofessional.” Myles went on to state that he knows he offended a lot of people and apologizes for not caring what people think of him. The t-shirt situation brought up past feelings in another company (insinuated to be Ring Of Honor) where he had limits placed on him. Myles wants to keep moving forward and promote change.
Jordan Myles, real name Alfred Hardie, Jr., took to Twitter on Sunday and Monday to voice his displeasure at a t-shirt that was designed for his character. Myles believed the shirt to be a take on the controversial blackface makeup.
In a series of tweets on Sunday, he attacked Vince McMahon and Triple H saying they have slapped every African American performer in the face. Myles also took a shot at Jay Lethal and Ring Of Honor.
WWE released a statement saying they collaborated with Myles on the shirt and that he approved of it. Myles would fire back with more tweets, including since deleted tweets stating WWE hates black people and a screenshot of an internal email from the company. Myles claimed he was lied to about the shirt.
