Zahra Schreiber Fired by WWE After Deleting Instagram Posts Featuring Swastika

Zahra Schreiber, who was in WWE's developmental system, was terminated by the company after coming under fire for making Instagram posts in 2012 that prominently featured swastikas.

TMZ passed along word of her dismissal, adding it was "due to inappropriate and offensive remarks."

The posts have since been deleted, but Cageside Seats captured one before Schreiber took it down:

Before recently debuting as a valet to Solomon Crowe at NXT house shows, Schreiber's time with WWE had been fraught with controversy. Nude photos of her sent to WWE Superstar Seth Rollins (who is now her boyfriend) were leaked on the WWE champion's Instagram and Twitter accounts in February, and her pre-WWE social media use has been the subject of scrutiny before.

Danielle Matheson of Uproxx posted previously released screenshots of Schreiber using slurs and making racial comments on various social platforms (most of the offensive media has been removed, and the images contain NSFW language).

When confronted about posting pictures that seemingly promoted Nazi imagery, Schreiber said in 2012 she is a history buff who does not associate the swastika with Adolf Hitler, per Cageside Seats (h/t Matheson):

I said that referring to her saying the swastika symbol deserves to be spat on. It has other meanings also. F--k off. I'll take interest anything I want. If you look next to it is a photo of an actress who refused Nazism and was awarded right to America. I'll put whatever I want on wall. Get the f--k over it.

Given the firing of WWE legend Hulk Hogan after it was revealed he made racist comments, it's no shock Schreiber's time with WWE was short-lived.
