  1. The girls commenting on Wennberg’s wife’s instagram are so disgusting. They’re trying to make it about race now too cause Felicia called out a black “influencer” like who fucking cares

  2. How fucking hard is it to not sexually harass someone? It’s disgusting his wife got backlash for speaking out against her husband being victimized to the point where he felt the need to step in

  3. “Hey, can you maybe not write aggressive literotica stories about my husband and post them online and tag us?”

    “Screw you, I’m gonna harasses you and your child over some person I’ve never met who happens to be good looking.”

    Yeah, not an overreaction at all.

  5. Felicia is a champ for getting the ball rolling for Alex to also speak up. That’s good partnership right there.

  6. Absolutely awful what they have to deal with. I hope things improve and people give them respect and space, because this is just ridiculous.

  7. Dragging a child, a fucking TODDLER into it, who has no involvement in this whatsoever just because you can’t handle being told you’re being disgusting??? Seriously??

    If you don’t want to hear how you’re part of the problem, don’t do the shit in the first place. Don’t want to be called a sexual harasser? Then don’t sexually harass someone.

    And don’t fucking DARE attack a *child* because your fragile egos can’t handle the truth.

    Absolutely fucking gross.

  8. The trend in recent years of people thinking it’s okay/cool to be openly and performatively horny online has been a massive negative.

  9. Good on Alex, but more importantly good on his wife. She didn’t back down, and good on her for saying something despite the backlash.

    These “fans” are shameful and I’m 100% on the side of the Wennbergs. Social media has become so toxic.

  10. So I feel super old right now, not on TikTok. I get the concept of “booktok” as a sub culture on TikTok but what does booktok have to do with these hockey players? Feel like I’m missing something

  12. Dusted off the insta app for a second (my first mistake) and… fucking yikes. Someone left a comment on his profile more or less accusing him of being ungrateful for a “booktoker”/booktok leading to his “popularity.”

    He is not a professional influencer. He is a professional athlete. *He* never asked for anyone to elevate his social media position by embrassingly thirsting over him and his teammates, so he definitely doesn’t have to be grateful for it.

    Edit: and the comments on her posts are even worse.

    Clout is a mind disease.

  13. Way to go Wennbergs! Pretty insane that players or their families / friends even have to tell people where the line is for sexual harassment in 2023.

  14. The comments on her first insta pic made me so goddamn angry, i dunno why i even bothered checking. Just openly harassing her and bullying her, accusing of racism etc. Fuck these idiots

  15. I read that Australian hockey booktok story last week and my first thought was how fucking awkward and even creepy it must be for the players. Even worse, their clubs were pushing it for the increased engagement (read: revenue), so they’re in a difficult position where they know they need the fans. We wouldn’t tolerate this behavior from men (directed at either a man or woman), so we shouldn’t tolerate it from women either.

    As an aside, Alex is fortunate to have a wife who’s educated in this stuff, so it was much easier for both Alex and his wife to navigate. These situations must be relationship straining for couples without the expertise or language to manage the social media bullshit.

  18. I went to his wife’s IG because of comments on here and I genuinely cannot believe how much harassment she is getting.

    A lot of comments on her photos are saying things like “oh wow well you liked the booktok attentiona few months and now you don’t?”

    Yea that is what consent is you psychotic pieces of shit. Those statements are no different from “oh wow you liked my sexual advances for the last half hour but now you don’t?”

    Yes. That is how consent works!

    These women harassing her are vile.
