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.”
