Thea Hail’s New Instagram Video With Cora Jade’s Ex Ignites Backlash

Just when it seemed like the drama between WWE NXT stars Thea Hail and Cora Jade couldn’t get any more chaotic, Thea’s latest Instagram post poured gasoline on the fire—and fans are not holding back.

On April 3, 2025, Thea uploaded the second part of her Chaotic Coffee Adventures #7 to her Instagram account, a fun food and drink review series where she and a few friends sample different coffee and breakfast items, giving them ratings similar to the viral One Bite Pizza review style. At first glance, the video was lighthearted and innocent enough—until fans noticed who was sitting next to her: Cora Jade’s ex-boyfriend, Harlem Lewis.

The moment Harlem appeared on-screen, any chill vibes went out the window. Fans already suspected something was going on between Thea and Harlem after she posted a photo dump earlier in the week with him front and center—and now, with Harlem featured in her video content, the situation has gone from subtle tension to full-blown controversy.

During the video, Harlem even went off on one of the breakfast sandwiches he tried, completely trashing it in front of the camera. But that wasn’t what fans zeroed in on.

Instead, the comments section of Thea’s post quickly turned into a warzone, as fans called her out for allegedly moving in too fast on Cora’s ex. One user wrote, “Bro moved on quick I see,” highlighting the rapid timeline between Cora and Harlem’s apparent breakup and Thea’s public appearances with him.

Another user, clearly upset by the situation, commented, “Share it with Cora Jade too, she shared you too 😂😂😂,” accusing Thea of disrespecting her fellow NXT star by getting involved with someone so recently out of a relationship with her.

Plenty of fans didn’t hold back when it came to their opinions on Harlem either. One person bluntly asked, “How do you take someone that just got out of the relationship 😂😂 Thea can do better,” suggesting Thea is settling for less by being involved with Cora’s ex.

The “sloppy seconds” narrative also took over the conversation quickly. “Wow Thea got sloppy seconds 😂,” one follower wrote, while another doubled down with, “Gettings Cora’s sloppy 2nds.”

As the backlash heated up, a few fans tried to step in and cool things off. One person defended Thea and Harlem’s right to move on, writing, “Y’all too deep into Cora and Thea business,” calling out the intense scrutiny both are facing over their private lives.

Others took a different angle entirely and started throwing shade at Cora herself. One user asked sarcastically, “Didn’t Cora get that jabroni into NXT? Guy knows what he’s doing. 😂” implying that Harlem used Cora to get a foot in the door.

Things got even nastier when another fan went after Cora’s reputation, writing, “Cora can’t stay healthy or keep a man🤭she must be bad in bed or sumthing lol.” The comment was quickly met with mixed reactions, with some agreeing and others defending Cora in replies.

Perhaps the most cutting remark came from a fan who seemed to sum up the entire situation in one sentence: “Y’all did Cora Jade dirty.” Whether referring to Thea, Harlem, or even WWE itself, the message was clear—fans feel like Cora got the short end of the stick in this messy love triangle.

As of now, neither Cora Jade, Thea Hail, nor Harlem Lewis have officially commented on the drama—but between unfollows, deleted posts, shady lyrics, and now a coffee vlog featuring the ex-boyfriend in question, it’s safe to say this situation has fully spilled into the public eye.

And with tensions running this high, it wouldn’t be a surprise if WWE decides to turn this real-life situation into the next explosive NXT storyline.
