After swarms of <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/zola-reviews\/\">critics<\/a> engulfed her in a fiery controversy,<a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/articles\/kourtney-kardashian-reveals-one-thing-shes-learned-from-addison-rae\/\"> Rae<\/a> has announced that her deft influencer expertise and minimal reporting experience is no longer needed at UFC.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, the 20-year-old tweeted &#8220;nvm, y&#8217;all got me fired,&#8221; a seeming response to those who questioned what ethical standards allowed her to join UFC as a correspondent. Although the nerves of the internet has been assuaged, the nub of the matter as Rae&#8217;s presumed position was actually a joke.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I studied broadcast journalism in college for 3 whole months to prepare for this moment <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5Z95OTSVTA\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/5Z95OTSVTA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Addison Rae (@whoisaddison) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/whoisaddison\/status\/1413656072678641664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">July 10, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Last Friday, Rae posted photos of herself clutching a mic at a preliminary event for the UFC 264&#8217;s coverage of the Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor match. Flaunting how she clinched the opportunity with her influencer prowess and circumvented the base-level qualifications, the caption read, &#8220;I studied broadcast journalism in college for 3 whole months to prepare for this moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, Rae was only present for an interview with Poirier, via social media, as they both hail from Lafayette, Louisiana. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/byajperez\/status\/1413957591840051201?s=27\" target=\"_blank\">Front Office Sports reporter A.J. Perez<\/a>, she &#8220;was never employed by UFC, either in a full-time capacity or as a one-off.&#8221; Nonetheless, the reception of Rae&#8217;s remark quickly unfurled into a public forum on the towering stature of influencers. Many perceived it as a by-product of her airs and graces, an entitlement oft-embedded in sprawling social media platforms. Moreover, users on social media decried the supposed opportunity as an exhibit of elitism trumping expertise yet again.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t the first time Rae has found herself in hot water with the masses. After appearing on\u00a0<em>The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon<\/em> to performing viral dances from TikTok, she was accused of de-platforming a host of Black creators (with significantly smaller viewership numbers on the app) as she performed their moves without crediting them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29094,"featured_media":29262,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[38,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) -
