Recently-released WWE Diva Tiffany removed a controversial Twitter comment Sunday, claiming that it was being mistaken for a shot at sexual politics in the WWE lockerroom.

The statement, which originally read, “No…if I have to sleep with people in power to keep or continue progressing in my job, I’d rather be poor,” was seemingly in response to a specific question about whether she would return to WWE. Yet in the retraction, Tiffany says that the comment was not related to the world’s leading sports entertainment company.

According to her note, I’m deleting a certain text because it’s being taken the wrong way. It was certainly not talking about anyone or any incident. Just that I’ve worked many jobs in which the casting couch has existed and I refuse to ever take part in that. so it was a generalized statement of companies I’ve worked for, which none of you know what companies they were; and It was not about wwe. so I apologize if it was taken out of context and reads differently than what I meant.”
