Mercedes Moné recently launched a private messaging platform where fans can text her for $99.99 per month, and while many people blasted her for the service, Vince Russo actually supports what Mercedes is doing.

While speaking on Shootin’ from the Hip, Vince Russo said he supports Mercedes Moné charging fans $99.99 a month to text her. He joked that people can message him on Cameo for just $2, so he’s $98 cheaper.

Russo explained that if fans are willing to pay that much, then she should go ahead and take the money. No one is forcing them to do it, so if they choose to spend it, she might as well benefit from it.

“I got—bro, people can text me through Cameo. They could text me. I think it’s two dollars a text. I think I’m 98 dollars cheaper.Yeah, man. Hey, listen. I say this, Chris, honestly—if there are people out there that are going to pay her 99 dollars for a text, take their 99 dollars for the text, man. I’m sorry, man. Nobody’s putting a gun to their head. If they’re willing to pay her that, make the money, man.”

Mercedes Moné’s service offers fans “exclusive, one-on-one, personal, and private” access. The deal includes a number said to be “reserved only for her biggest supporters.” 

This comes after the CEO of AEW already seemingly reacted to the backlash over her private messaging service, making it clear she isn’t fazed by the hate. In the end, Vince Russo believes it’s up to the fans: if they want to spend money, they can, and Mercedes has every right to earn that money and that’s not going to change anytime soon.
