AEW star MJF recently backed Zachary Wentz, formerly known as Nash Carter, who was controversially released by WWE. The former MSK member on NXT 2.0 recently issued a statement on Monday regarding the controversial photo that led to his release from WWE. A picture of Carter doing a controversial Nazi pose with a Hitler-looking mustache was shared by his wife, Kimber Lee. This sparked controversy and eventually led to WWE releasing him.

MJF defends Nash Carter

MJF took note of the statement and posted a tweet and then deleted it that read:

‘I lived with this man. He’s not an antisemite. Stop virtue signaling and let the man do his job.’

Here is what Nash Carter had to say about the matter:

‘No words can truly describe how ashamed and apologetic I am for my conduct in the photograph. There is no excuse for such behavior and I take full responsibility for my actions and ask for forgiveness. This picture was taken in 2015, a time where I was uneducated on the topic and therefore didn’t understand the magnitude of how hurtful it was. In 2020 someone was trying to extort me by threatening to post it on social media. I sent it to my wife to discuss the situation. Apparently, she kept it and then decided in retaliation for the filing of the divorce to post it to social media. Regardless how the photograph came to light, there is still no excuse for my actions.

Over the past month I have taken time to reflect on my conduct to which I express my utmost remorse and regret. I have spent time off social media to refresh and re-educate myself about of the horrors of the Holocaust. I truly do hope that this situation will teach and bring awareness to the horrific tragedy that took place so that something like this will never happen again. I can assure you that this is not who I am or what I represent as a human being, and I feel it is never too late to educate and better yourself.

If you are ever in the Orlando/Maitland area, take some time to visit the Holocaust Memorial Resource and Education Center of Florida where you can learn about the history and depth of what took place. It was an incredibly eye-opening, and impactful experience that teaches the importance of this history.’
