WWE Zahra Schreiber's Instagram post got her in more than a fair share of trouble with her employer.She was fired for publishing a series pro-Nazi artworks from her social media account in 2012.

"WWE released Zahra Schreiber due to inappropriate and offensive remarks she made that were recently brought to our attention," the organization said in a statement Monday.

The controversial post included an image of a 'My Little Pony' character dressed as Adolf Hitler and an Instagram collage full of swastikas. Even at that time, fans lashed out at her for posting Nazi themed images.

"I like history ha," Zahra said to defend her posts. "The swastika means prosperity and luck. It was around way before Hitler turned it into an icon."

Although, she had removed the posts long ago, "someone dug them up over the weekend," reported TMZ. WWE was reportedly notified about the posts, which forced to take action.

The "WWE Zahra Schreiber Instagram scandal" caught up with another inappropriate comment made by Hulk Hogan,  who admitted to making racist remarks in a secret recording. The taped records were leaked earlier this summer.

"I never should have said what I said," Hogan was quoted as saying by TMZ. He admitted that the fallout from the scandal had hit him hard. He reiterated he wasn't a racist.

"Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation," he said in a statement after the release of the secret tape. He continued to say, "It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it."

This isn't the first scandal for Zahra this year.

In February '15, WWE Wrestler Seth Rollins' ex-fiancée, Leighla Schultz revealed a few nudes of Zahra and Seth on social media. She did it to seek revenge against her (now-ex) beau.

Rollins tweeted to apologize to all his WWE fans, family members and friends for the private photographs that had been distributed without his consent. 

Neither Schreiber nor Rollins had issued any statement in light of the "WWE Zahra Schreiber Instagram scandal." WWE decided to sever all ties with her on August 31, 2015.
