Dixie Carter probably wishes she had just logged off on Friday, Oct. 10, following a not-so-great day on Twitter. Carter posted two controversial tweets, which would both end up being deleted. For one of the tweets, Carter even had to apologize.
Carter’s first controversial tweet had to do with the deadly Typhoon Vongfong making its way to Japan, the country that TNA’s “Bound for Glory” pay-per-view will be held at. All of TNA’s talent that needed to make the trip made it safely to Tokyo, despite the typhoon’s effects making their way to Japan’s capital.
Carter would then comment on the storm in two tweets, the latter being the one that created controversy:

The tweet would quickly be deleted upon various backlash from wrestling fans on Twitter. In fact, Carter would apologize for posting the tweet, saying it was more about James Storm, not the Japanese typhoon:

Unfortunately for Carter, that was not the only tweet she had to delete that day. Carter also plugged an article on TNA’s website, which looked back at the AAA When Worlds Collide event in 1994. The piece also took a look at some of the Japanese stars that will be featured at the 2014 “Bound for Glory” event.
Below is Carter’s tweet, in which her caption generated a lot of flak from wrestling fans:
While Carter did delete the tweet, she would not issue an apologize for that one, unlike the James Storm-Typhoon Vongfong tweet.

Yikes, just log off, Dixie.
