During a recent appearance on the Timbo Sugarshow podcast with Tim Welch and UFC fighter Sean O’Malley, Kenney answered a question about whether he would have sex with the UFC featherweight title contender.
I guess MMA is a line of work where you can publicly talk about whether you'd have sex with a coworker in an utterly degrading way and face zero consequences.
Disgusting behavior and it's unfortunate that he'll be fighting on my card in March. https://twitter.com/UFC_Obsessed/status/1354824103937544195

Kenney, who fights Dominick Cruz at UFC 259, quickly made an apology on Twitter, admitting “I was wrong” and promising to be “more careful with my words” in the future.
@MeganA_mma I’m sorry this upset you. I will be more careful with my words. I was just answering a question and thought it was all a joking matter. I see I was wrong and I’m sorry. Best of luck with training camp and your fight.

Welch also responded via Twitter to Anderson’s criticism:— Casey Kenney (@ckmma135) January 28, 2021

Absolutely disgusting is right. I’m really sorry you are dealing with this and there absolutely should be consequences. Shameful. On a brighter note, I am very much looking forward to your championship opportunity. ??

nobody deserves a workplace culture where sexual harassment or bullying is acceptable. I respect you for speaking out!
