Rhea Ripley announced on Twitter that she was involved in a fan incident earlier today in Paris, France.

Ripley stated that she was “completely mobbed” and pushed up against the door of her Uber ride.

“Remember, we are people. Do not swarm me or anyone like a pack of rabid zombies… No one should ever be pushed up against a Uber driver’s door and completely mobbed like I just experienced. Use common courtesy and humanity. No means no. Wtf.”
