Miesha Tate blasts Ronda Rousey for telling the media “hearing me speak is a privilege”

Ronda Rousey has been back in the media following her comments where she said that hearing her speak was a privilege and  a privilege that has been abused.  She took those comments further during a recent interview to promote her upcoming movie Mile 22 saying,“Why should I talk? I believe hearing me speak is a privilege, and it’s a privilege that’s been abused, so why not revoke it from everyone?”

“We live in an age of trial by Twitter, is really gained by stating opinion on anything? It whittles people down. It gets cut and pasted 10 times and it’s in [a] headline.”

Miesha responded on UFC Tonight…

“People are gonna say I’m being a hater but I’m gonna be honest, I think it’s a bit ridiculous and I think it’s very above herself. This kind of attitude, this is where we butt heads. This is the point where we don’t agree. Sometimes Ronda will say something that’s humble and I’ll be like, ‘Hey, that’s a great comment.’ This is asinine.”

“I think this is not the kind of attitude that you should have when you’re someone who is in the position of Ronda. Ronda’s very fortunate. Granted, she’s worked very hard, but there’s a lot of people that work really, really hard and don’t get to that point of stardom or financial benefit or whatever it is. It’s a combined effort. To say ‘it’s a privilege to hear me speak’ is just sounds rude and full of herself. She really sounds full of herself.”
