Tessa Blanchard Has Yet to Make Amends With Those She Offended

Tessa Blanchard may be back in TNA Wrestling, but her past continues to follow her. Despite her claims of being a free agent, reports confirmed that she has been under contract with the company, sparking debate about whether she deserves another shot. Now, new details have emerged about her reluctance to address the controversy that surrounded her before her original exit.

On the latest Fightful Select Backstage Report Podcast, Sean Ross Sapp addressed whether Blanchard has tried to make peace with those she reportedly wronged. His response made it clear that those conversations have yet to happen.

“I hope that she goes and makes amends with the people who were affected by the things that she said and did because I know some of those people, and those efforts have not been made,” Sapp stated.

Blanchard’s reputation took a major hit in 2020 when allegations of racist behavior and bullying surfaced. Several wrestlers, including former colleagues, spoke out about their negative experiences with her. While Blanchard denied many of the accusations, her silence on the matter since returning to TNA has raised eyebrows.

Her in-ring return at TNA Genesis against Jordynne Grace is one of the most talked-about matches on the card, but the conversation surrounding her comeback isn’t just about wrestling. Many in the industry are still waiting for her to acknowledge the damage done and take responsibility for past actions.

With Blanchard back under the spotlight, the question remains—will she take the steps necessary to repair her reputation, or is she hoping to move forward without addressing the past?
