Former WWE Superstar Lacey Evans is actively filing fraudulent DMCA claims in an effort to scrub the internet of articles and photos related to her OnlyFans career and even her WWE past — and she’s using her real name, Macey Estrella, to do it.
Ringside News can confirm that Evans has launched a full-blown campaign targeting content she doesn’t legally own — including images from WWE programming, which fall under fair use protections for news reporting. This follows a similar effort by Mandy Rose, who earlier this year also tried to rewrite history by misusing Google’s takedown system.
These claims aren’t limited to adult content. Evans is attempting to remove any article or photo that doesn’t present her in a favorable light, regardless of whether she legally owns the imagery or content. It’s a clear misuse of copyright law intended to silence outlets that previously helped generate interest in her post-WWE ventures.
She’s filing under ‘Macey Estrella’, but the majority of the materials she’s targeting are from WWE events or her own public posts, all protected under fair use. Despite that, the takedown attempts continue to pile up. Some of the websites she’s gone after include:
According to data we’ve reviewed, Evans has filed over 13,000 takedown requests, many of which are tied to images or articles that are legally protected and not owned by her in any capacity.
Mandy Rose did the exact same thing months ago, with over 80 false claims directed at Ringside News alone — a campaign meant to bury her FanTime history that helped skyrocket her earnings after her WWE release.
Trying to use the DMCA system to hide publicly available, self-posted content is not only dishonest—it’s an attempt to silence factual reporting through fraudulent claims.
These tactics are not only unethical but also legally questionable. Public figures like Evans and Rose benefited from online media when it suited them, but now appear to be abusing copyright law to silence press coverage they no longer want.
Do you think Lacey Evans has crossed a line by filing false DMCA claims to hide her WWE and OnlyFans past? Or should media outlets keep standing up to these takedown tactics? Sound off in the comments below.
