UFC’s Andrea Lee Releases Statement Following Husband’s Refusal To Remove Or Cover Nazi Tattoo

Former LFA women’s flyweight champion and current UFC competitor Andrea Lee has been making headlines as of late due to a series of photos concerning the fighter’s husband Donny Aaron. Also her coach, Donny Aaron was spotted in a series of photos with tattoos featuring a swastika and SS bolts.

The swastika, a symbol often found in eastern philosophy, was largely popularized by the Nazi party. The SS bolts were a symbol of the Schutzstaffel, a paramilitary group of Nazi Germany.

Photos of Aarons’ tattoos may be viewed below:

An old comment from Aaron concerning his tattoos has since resurfaced to the internet.

In a since deleted social media post, Andrea Lee offered a reaction to the recent controversy. The fighter called those concerned, “sensitive ass mofos.”

Donny Aaron would later go on to offer a public apology.

Now Andrea Lee has come forward with an apology of her own. Check it out below:

“My comments the day before were meant to just defend my husband not his tattoo. I never intended to make light of the situation, the history of the symbol or dismiss anyone that was offended. The mistakes he made in his youth are not a representation of who he is today, which is a man that loves and respects everyone.

“Donny was my coach long before we got together, when I first met Donny, I questioned him too about his tattoos and he explained to me about his past and who he was now and how he’d changed. The more I got to know him as a person the less I noticed his skin. I’m truly sorry for responding the other day the way I did, if you think I don’t care I DO! I’m not racist, I’m not a nazi and I don’t hate people and neither does Donny.

“I’ve always believed in the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you, I personally try to live by that and I tell my daughter that all the time. I Also don’t believe in hating a person for things they have done to you or things they have done, Period, If I don’t like someone. I never ever say that I hate people or a person, if anything I just extremely dislike a person, but never hate. I’m the type of person to help anyone out no matter the color of their skin or the religion they believe in, I don’t judge people based off a single thing or action or because of what someone else said about them, I chose to get to know them first and then make my own personal opinion, that’s how I am and that’s who I have always been. So I am sorry if I offended anyone, I apologize, please forgive me.”
