Cora Jade has finally broken her silence—but it might be too little, too late.

After weeks of widespread DMCA takedowns targeting everything from Instagram screenshots to wrestling memes, the former WWE NXT star took to social media to post a statement. While she claims the situation is being looked into, the damage might already be done—especially since it wasn’t just one overzealous company behind the scenes. There were several.

“I’m disappointed to have been made aware of the situation regarding DMCA takedowns of content that seemingly do not infringe on subscription service content,” she wrote. “I’m working with my team to determine why this is happening as it was not something I wanted to happen and will work to make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

Let’s be real—this didn’t come out of nowhere. As Ringside News reported, at least five companies were actively issuing takedowns on her behalf, including Content Armour, Venus Group, SecureReach, Infringement Watch, and others. These groups were not coordinated but overlapping, resulting in mass removals of content that included fair use wrestling coverage, WWE media, and even memes.

The copyright notices cited her TikTok, Instagram, and OnlyFans as the source of the “infringement,” despite much of the targeted material originating from WWE programming or public fan pages. These actions raised serious legal questions under 17 U.S. Code § 512(f), which penalizes knowingly false or reckless DMCA claims.

Cora’s attempt to shift blame onto an ambiguous “team” feels less like accountability and more like damage control. If this was truly a rogue mistake, why were multiple enforcement agencies hammering the same content at the same time?

And to top it off, she turned off replies on the Twitter post where she issued her statement—silencing fans and critics from responding directly. That move didn’t go unnoticed, especially for someone claiming they want answers and transparency.

This latest statement might satisfy some, but others are left wondering: How does someone fail to notice an aggressive copyright campaign carried out in their name for weeks?

What do you think—was this an honest mistake, or is Cora Jade just trying to save face after getting caught? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know where you stand.
