Earlier as we speak, a cyber wares store named Mecha Musume claimed that WWE star Zelina Vega “severely underneath paid me” whereas additionally losing their time and inflicting extreme labor situations over the design of her WrestleMania costume:

“WWE Wrestler Zelina Vega with the customized Mecha Chancla we designed, printed and hand stoned one after the other that she virtually obtained free of charge and severely underneath paid me for.

Additionally wasted my time on a pair of cuffs, Mech wings and headset, all hand stoned. She gave me the incorrect tackle which resulted in my wings getting cooked within the sizzling 100 diploma florida solar, melting it basically, having to reship it, after which discovering out the time specified was too late, then having a bit detach on account of melted items from once more…it getting broken from being delivered to her outdated tackle that she THOUGHT she may decide it up from. It was actually one thing so fixable and but she mentioned it was my fault and a talent problem in addition to her “assistant” saying I’m unprofessional for even saying it’s something however my work and my abilities suck. She obtained all that (fee valued at $2.5k) for $900 with a promise of publicity and I needed to refund a number of clients and reject new orders to get this performed, hours upon hours of 3d designing all the things, bedazzling all the things one after the other, customized portray all the things, attaching LEDs, crystalizzing the clear elements of the wings, and so forth. A labor that ought to have taken months, I did in 2 and a half to three weeks non cease breaks and no sleep. And guess what? Just for her to return all the things, dispute the entire quantity with out deducting what she saved by way of paypal and maintaining the chancla and headset for virtually change. All of that…for nothing and to have costly stuff for Temu worth. As a Puerto Rican, you might be actually a shame and 100% not on your individuals, not to mention small companies.

Secure to say I’ll by no means work with a star that tries to rip-off me for reasonable companies and virtually free gadgets once more and I’ll by no means bedazzle both, however nonetheless fairly cool to witness my piece on TV and the world seeing it. In fact there’s no tag, however that’s nothing new guys.

I undoubtedly don’t wish to work with celebrities or influencers anymore, they all the time count on tremendous low cost or free stuff and extreme labor simply because it’s them. I AM HUMAN TOO, I HAVE BILLS TO PAY, I NEED TO EAT. THIS IS NOT A CHINESE SWEATSHOP OR MAJOR CORP, ITS A ONE WOMAN ARMY.”

A smaller scale accusation was made a short time later by an artist named Sangre:

Vega responded to those accusations by reactivating her Twitter / X account and saying she has receipts to show she isn’t a scammer:

“Welp, needed to reactivate Twitter simply to appropriate individuals. Screenshots, pictures & movies to come back. Very last thing my husband and I are, are scammers, so! Time to make issues clear. Alllll of it. And for the individuals who wish to threaten, lie and create pretend “new rip-off eventualities” to leap on the hate practice as a result of they assume it’s enjoyable and funky for social media, do higher.. bcz you’re about to be confirmed very incorrect.”

Vega famous the Mecha Musume state of affairs is extra sophisticated and would require a video response. Nonetheless, she did defend herself from Sangre with screenshots of textual content exchanges:

**I don’t need any hate despatched to ANY of the individuals (together with Mecha) or conditions that I’m about to clear up** when you’re a fan of mine, please don’t. This isn’t meant to be “twitter enjoyable” however I do have the suitable to defend myself. Excuse the sluggish responses as it’s a journey day. None of my different gear makers have ever had a problem with me and in the event that they did, we dealt with it in individual.

My intent, regardless of being extremely upset at what trolls blew this as much as be, is to get to a spot the place everybody feels okay about issues as I assumed that’s the place my staff and her obtained to. As soon as it left my palms (I used to be shifting, working and coping with a sick member of the family) I left it of their palms and it gave the impression to be settled.

Beginning with @sangrebomb as a result of Mecha is much more concerned and I’m going to be recording a video, not that you could tag an individual that blocked you on IG anyway:

I requested “would you have an interest, would you like compensation, they mentioned no. I nonetheless provided all the things else and even stunned them by getting them tix and introduced them backstage to say thanks personally. They went again on the unique settlement and wasn’t clear about what they now needed and I finished utilizing their picture on the controllers and respectfully reduce ties. How am I the dangerous man right here?

We’ll deliver you extra on this story as we’ve it, Cagesiders.
