One of Kierra's fundamental misunderstandings about this situation is that a joke can still be sexual harassment. While screaming "Krak my back" may be just a joke to her (even if it's not, jokes have punchlines), it's not to the player. I know so many women, myself included, who have had obscenities screamed at them as "just a joke" but it still doesn't change that its dehumanizing sexual harassment.

The part that annoys me the most if that Kierra Lewis MADE this situation about her and totally deflected from Felicia's point. She never said Kierra was the problem, she said the behavior she saw was the issue. And going on live to talk trash about her is cruel. The fact that Felicia had to make a second statement to clarify her easily understood point just makes me sadder. It's awful what that family had to deal with because of Kierra's ego.

From all of the workplace sexual harassment training I've received, the letter of the law suggests that sexual innuendos and jokes fall under the category of sexual harassment when the jokes are UNWANTED. Maybe Alex and Felecia WERE cool with it at one point, but as Amanda said, they retain the right to revoke that consent. This is why it's always better NOT to make sexual jokes about real people. You never know what someone is comfortable with. Clearly Kierra isn't sorry for what she said, she's sorry that she's getting called out for it. She's a weirdo who needs to grow up š

Ok, but the Kraken management/social media team should never have put their players into this position. They opened their employees up to the sexualization and when this entire mess spiraled out of control, they just covered their tracks.
As an employer, Kraken should NEVER have done this collaboration with Kierra in the first place nor should it have made players lean into this sexualization on tiktok.
Deleting all of the content on the official pages and not making a statement feels more like liability control than it feels like them actually backing the players up.
Like Amanda mentioned, it is their duty as an employer to protect their employees from this kind of harassment. They clearly failed to do that. My guess is that they deleted all of the content on the official pages and refrained from making official comments, at least in part, to protect themselves from a potential sexual harassment or coercion suit.

a book reviewer I watch (withcindy) said about kierra's "response" to felicia's original instagram story was, "reading a lot of books does not mean you understand reading comprehension" and that's EXACTLY how I feel about everyone attacking felicia and taking the side of literal sexual harassment

RPF is so weird if you are writing anything sexual or romantic. People seem to just forget that celebrities are real people. People really don't think about the impact that RPF can actually have on the relationships between celebrities. I will always remember that Lauren Jauregui spoke about how people shipping her and Camila impacted their friendship, especially since Lauren was queer but was not out, the way people wrote her as the 'agressor' made her feel uncomfortable in her own sexuality.

As a person who enjoys fanfic and romance (though not rpf) I find it particular strange when people break what used to be the golden rule of fandom: never ask actors/writers etc. about fandom. I find the treatment of real human people like characters even more troubling when it comes to projecting fandom onto them. It really just seems so simple to me to keep your comments and thirsting away from the actual presence of the celebrities. Don't tag them in fandom things, don't ask them about fandom things, and certainly don't make sexual comments to them in real life!!!

I just want to pop on here and say that 99% of the hockey fandom does NOT agree with what happened with the Kraken, Alex and his wife. Iām deep in the hockey fandom trenches and Iām still appalled by this situation, and so are all my friends in the fandom. You have to separate the men you read about from the real guys in the NHL because they are REAL PEOPLE.

As a female that loves to watch hockey but also finds some hockey players really good looking I would never do this. What the booktoker says about these players is just disgusting š¤¢.Felicia Alexanderās wife made a very amazing statement about this whole situation and she was very nice and was not mean in her statement. She always has a right to feel uncomfortable about this whole issue even when she was ok with it in the beginning. I feel like the booktoker just total missed the point of her statements and is completely insane!!

I'm sure every person who has ever cat-called me would argue they were joking if I confronted them. Even if she really thought it was a joke at the time, a phrase can be two things at once. What she said can be both a joke and sexual harrassement and the former does not negate that it was the latter.

This is so embarrassing! WHY ARE YOU NOT EMBARASSED?? Not only is this booktoker sexually harassing someone, she also makes all this drama about herself. She's saying that she was personally attacked by Felicia when she wasn't even mentioned in the posts. She's saying that she apologized when all she really did was going into defense mode. She's claiming that Felicia slandered her when she herself claimed that the posts were about her. "It'S nOt HaRaSsMeNt, It'S hUmOr!!!" I bet she doesn't think that's funny if it's directed at her.

This hockey playerās boss basically invited a person known for screaming sexual things at himā¦to his place of work so she could do it to his face. Like can you imagine? Not acceptable.
