Just months after alt-right conservative radio host Alex Jones of the fringe media group Infowars was found guilty of defaming victims of the tragic Sandy Hook school shooting and forced to pay over $1.4 billion in damages, one WWE superstar was caught promoting another Infowars conspiracy theory on her social media accounts.
As several people pointed out, WWE star Lacey Evans shared a clip from Infowars on her Instagram story that spread misinformation about processed foods and GMOs, claiming a link between processed foods and conditions like ADD and autism.

While she did delete the video from her Instagram story, Lacey Evans initially defended her decision to share the video in the first place.
“I watched a video on the impact processed foods is having on our children and I shared the video,” Evans said in a since-deleted Tweet. “Yall are insane.”
Even though she has deleted all of her posts related to the matter, Lacey Evans is getting absolutely blasted on Twitter for sharing the misinformation.
“This Lacey Evans post is infuriatingly stupid. I’ll just leave it there,” Wrestling reporter Sean Ross Sapp said on Twitter.

“Lacey Evans is dumb as a brick and lives a sheltered life of priviledge, I don’t know what to you,” Wrestling podcaster Warren Hayes said on Twitter.
Aside from her since-deleted Tweet, Evans (seen above on WWE Smackdown in July) has yet to formally address the controversial post.
