NXT star Jazmyn Nyx has been one of the highlights of NXT television, as she is currently part of Fatal Influence. However, it appears she and her boyfriend are currently under fire after her boyfriend was seen mocking a disabled person as well as being racist in a recent video.
During a livestream at Disneyland, Jazmyn Nyx’s boyfriend Bryton was seen laughing at a disabled person, as he claimed the person was growling at him like a dog, saying, “What up big man, oh my god he f****** growled at me. He just growled at me like a f****** dog.” All the while, Jazmyn was laughing with her boyfriend after what he said.
It didn’t stop there, Bryton also mocked India by imitating an Indian song, and after seeing a Japanese monument, he made an insensitive comment. He asked whether it was Japanese or Chinese, then dismissed the difference by saying, “This gotta be China or Japan, same thing.” At a restaurant with Asian women, he asked whether they could even speak English, saying, “They speak English?”
Unsurprisingly, quite a few fans were furious after watching the video. A fan took to Twitter to call out Jazmyn Nyx, saying she’s facing backlash after she and her boyfriend were seen laughing at a disabled child. Many people are upset, saying that kind of behavior is not okay. Just because someone else is doing it doesn’t make it right. You never know what someone is going through, and mocking others, especially those with disabilities, is hurtful and wrong.
“Jazmyn nyx is getting backlash after her and her man laughed at a disabled kid THAT IS NOT OK BEHAVIOR JUST BC YO MAN DOING IT DOESN’T MEAN ITS FUNNY YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE GOING THRU I HAVE ADHD MY SELF AS JOEY SAYS YOU NEED TO DO BETTER MIND YOUR OWN”
A fan posted on Twitter saying they tried to give Jazmyn Nyx a chance, but her boyfriend is making it hard for them. They were upset because her boyfriend made fun of disabled kids, said racist things, and joked about plantations. The fan felt like Jazmyn just laughed along instead of standing up against it, which made them disappointed.
“I tried giving Jazmyn Nyx a chance but her boyfriend is ruining it for me. How you gon let someone openly mock disabled kids, be racist and make plantation jokes and just stand there giggling like a d*** crazed girl”
Another fan tweeted that they hope Jazmyn Nyx gets promoted to the main roster too soon so she gets criticized and overwhelmed there, saying, “I hope Jazmyn Nyx gets called up to the main roster embarrassingly early so she just gets absolutely eaten alive there.”
A fan expressed concern about Jazmyn Nyx and her boyfriend filming themselves laughing and making fun of people with disabilities, calling it evil behavior, saying, “Jazmyn Nyx and her boyfriend filming themselves laughing and making fun of people with disabilities? yikes.. this is some really evil s***”
A fan criticized Jazmyn Nyx and her boyfriend for posting a video where he was being racist and ableist while she laughed along, calling them morons for their actions, saying, “Not sure what Jazmyn Nyx and her idiot boyfriend were thinking uploading a video of him being racist and ableist while she laughs along. Morons.”
The video of Jazmyn Nyx laughing while her boyfriend made offensive remarks about disabilities and race has sparked major backlash online. Many fans are demanding accountability and wondering what impact this could have on Nyx’s future in wrestling, so we’ll have to see if she will respond to the backlash soon enough.
