Back in 2012, Schreiber posted artwork and photos on her Instagram account that included swastikas. One of the pictures posted was a cartoon of a “My Little Pony” character dressed as Adolf Hitler.

Even though she had previously deleted the pictures, someone “dug them up over the weekend” according to a TMZ report, which posted some of the images circulating on social media.
WWE issued a statement:
Schreiber had yet to appear on NXT television but debuted Saturday at a show in Fort Pierce, Fla., as the valet for Solomon Crowe. She was in the news earlier this year when a topless picture of her appeared on Rollins’ Instagram and Twitter accounts.
Soon after that, a nude picture of Rollins also appeared on his social media accounts. It turned out that Rollins’ then-fiancee, Leighla Schultz, was posting the pictures in retaliation for his relationship with Schreiber.
This is the second Nazi-related controversy involving TV talent over the past week. Schreiber’s firing comes just a week after Curt Schilling was suspended indefinitely by ESPN for a tweet where he compared Muslim extremists to German Nazis.
