Beast Mortos Claims His Lawsuit Threat Wasn’t About Taurus

Beast Mortos may have set social media on fire with his lawsuit threat—but now he’s claiming the post had nothing to do with Taurus after all.

Hours after tweeting “Preparing the lawsuit. See you in court. Rawwwwwrrrrrr…”—right after Taurus appeared at AAA TripleManía XXXIII in gear that looked eerily similar to Mortos’—the AEW star is changing his tune. Facing backlash from fans who accused him of overreacting and stirring unnecessary drama, Mortos returned to X with a follow-up:

“I’m actually working on a real case about a woman who suffered physical violence in her marriage. But it’s funny to know that they linked it to the character of Taurus. This is funny.”

The timing raised eyebrows immediately. Mortos didn’t mention the real-life case in his original post—only after the Taurus comparison blew up online and he started catching heat for it.

For context, Mortos doesn’t typically tweet about his legal work, and the explanation only surfaced after the initial post triggered backlash. The sudden shift in narrative has led to even more questions about whether the lawsuit tweet was really about something else—or if he’s just walking it back.

Whether it was a misunderstood message or a quick backpedal, Mortos’ attempt at clarification hasn’t exactly cooled down the conversation—if anything, it’s added more confusion to an already chaotic situation.
