WWE superstar Randy Orton is in the news again and not for the right reasons. After having major backstage heat rumored to be on him, he pulls a devilish act on Twitter that is inexcusable to everyone. According to TMZ , Randy Orton tweeted a picture of himself and a fan at the gym, calling her “Ms. Piggy.”
“Naturally, many of Orton’s followers have taken offense to this, calling him a bully for teasing the fan in this manner to thousands of his followers.
‘Look @kimklro I met the Latino Ms. Piggy today at the gym. I wish you were there to have a good laugh with me! #MsPig’
“TMZ.com is reporting Orton’s girlfriend has some kind of beef with the fan and Orton blocked her on Twitter for sending harassing messages to his girlfriend.”
You can view the picture at this link , because the tweet by Orton has since been deleted from his account. Apparently, Orton’s girlfriend, Kim Marie, has been bullied by the girl who was in Orton’s picture.
Before you jump on @RandyOrton and @KimKlro know that this person who stalked Randy has been flat out Bullying Kim for months!

Whatever the case may be, Orton is causing a disturbance on social media that simply is not acceptable. If it were his first misdemeanor in the public with fans, then the WWE wouldn’t really turn their head at it. However, their Be-A-Star program is worldwide, and seeing one of the superstars who grants wishes for Make-A-Wish do that sort of thing is harmful to his reputation and the WWE’s.
Under no circumstances should a woman, or anybody for that matter, be criticized for the way they look. Instead of calling somebody out on social media, keeping thoughts internal is the proper way to handle situations. Unfortunately for Orton, his superiors will more than likely visit this and not be too keen on the idea of calling a woman fat for the whole world to see.
WWE superstars in the past have been suspended for the use of cruel acts towards fans in the past. For example, CM Punk told a man he has a “vagina” and a gay slur during a live show. He wasn’t suspended, but was reprimanded and forced to apologize. Obviously, Punk didn’t think before using his head because Punk was playing a heel. Naturally, heel instincts will shine through.
As for Orton, he did it all on social media, a platform for all to see. Instead of shutting up, Orton made it worse and the WWE will need to get involved to sort this out. Nobody deserves to be called “Ms. Piggy,” and Orton needs to realize his wrong.
