WWE star Lacey Evans issued a statement on her Twitter announcing that her viral video arguing with a police officer in Edmonton was fake, and done in order to promote the live event taking place in the area later that evening. Evans explains that as a former law enforcement officer and Marine, she does not condone disrespecting authority, and that the video was created by both parties.
As prior law enforcement myself and a United States Marine, I do not condone, agree with or promote disrespecting or making LEO’s jobs harder than they already are. The video was created by both parties to promote the local live event taking place in the edmonton area. As a sports Entertainer it’s my job to not only entertain but also set the proper example. So with that being said…I’m glad you all were entertained but if you ever try to honestly disrespect or put my brothers and sisters in blue in harm…I hope you get what you ask for.
Evans also gave this statement to CTV News in Canada:
The general public now believe this interaction was real when the officer and I planned to start recording and have him walk up again with the citation in hand. As prior law enforcement myself, I didn’t expect people to honestly believe this was real considering I am an entertainer and was in town for a performance.
