Chelsea Green appeared on the latest episode of Cody Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, and the duo revisited a notorious incident from Green’s past when a New York City hotel accused her of being an escort. “We’re coming after you here on this pod,” Rhodes said to the hotel. “You owe her a free stay.” During WrestleMania 40 week in 2024, Green and Maxxine Dupri were kicked out of Fairmont’s Plaza Hotel in New York after security thought she was a sex worker. The incident resulted in mainstream news coverage after Green wrote about the embarrassing moment on social media. Man… one night you’re wrestling at Barclays Center, having the time of your life and the next you’re being kicked out of @FairmontHotels and accused of being an escort because of your outfit😵‍💫 Life is funny! Maybe next year I won’t celebrate Wrestlemania weekend at The Plaza… pic.twitter.com/U2oDSOfMj7 — CHELSEA GREEN (@ImChelseaGreen) April 3, 2024 She said after the story gained momentum in the press, management at the Plaza tried to make amends by offering her a free stay at one of their properties anywhere in the world. However, when she went to redeem the offer, it didn’t exist. The incident was brought up on What Do You Wanna Talk About? when Cody asked if the situation had been resolved yet. “Obviously, they were incorrect, and they came back to you and said they were going to make it right,” The American Nightmare asked. “And that hasn’t been made right?” Green said that after she tweeted out a photo of the security guards who kicked her out, “the sweetest man from the Plaza Hotel called me.” He told her that the guards would be retrained, “and he’s going to give me a free stay at anywhere in the world.” She continued, “Last year, I went to redeem my free stay, and it didn’t exist. He lied to me.” “What’s the hotel group the Plaza is at?” Rhodes asked. “You owe her a free stay.” “Anywhere in the world!” Chelsea added. “Anywhere in the world,” Rhodes said. “Just make it right.” Green then said she wanted to stay at the hotel at Christmas. “I need to make peace with it, because I love the Plaza Hotel,” she said. What do you think, Cagesiders? How much more pressure does the Plaza have to face before it fulfills its promise to Chelsea? Let us know in the comments.
