In the world of social media, we have to be careful about what we say and Tony Kelley learned that lesson. He was caught making racist remarks against Brazilians after his girlfriend Andrea Lee lost in a unanimous decision against Viviane Araujo. Kelley used to word "dirty brazilians" and claimed Araujo "cheated". He then defended his words and said "cancel culture is real".
Kelley's racist comment
That’s what they’re gonna do, they’re dirty f****** Brazilians. They’re gonna f****** cheat like that. Guess what? We came to f*** somebody up.
Cancel Culture is real. What I said was real and in the heat of battle, and in no way had any type of racist connotations meant…but if that’s the way you take it, idgaf. So many people quick to say racist..that shits getting so old. My reference was to a dirty eye poke.
