Val Venis urges Michelle Obama to take chromosome test
Former WWE wrestler Val Venis used Twitter to demand that former First Lady Michelle Obama undergo a chromosome test to prove she is not a man. His posts came after UFC fighter Josh Hokit referred to Obama as a man during the UFC Freedom 250 event, prompting reports of a possible defamation lawsuit by the Obamas.
Venis wrote, “Considering????? PLEASE STOP 'CONSIDERING' AND JUST DO IT! Let the chromosome test commence!” and turned the controversy into a betting prompt: “LET THE BETS BEGIN: IS MICHELLE OBAMA A MAN?” He also claimed there is no public record of Obama ever taking such a test and argued that Hokit should not apologize.
The comments sparked criticism from other public figures and highlighted the ongoing online harassment targeting the former first lady.
