There’s been a ton of reaction on twitter over the alleged Tom Phillips’ sexting scandal. For those of you that missed it, a woman on Instagram is claiming that Phillips sent her explicit texts. She says that she later learned that Phillips is engaged so she decided to post the text screenshots on her Instagram account. The story spread like wildfire on Friday night and some readers emailed us to say that Phillips was trending at one point on Twitter. You can see the text screenshots by clicking here.
As of this writing, there has been no comment from Phillips or WWE on the situation. Phillips’ social media accounts are set to private and I doubt that WWE will acknowledge any of this. We hope he does not lose his job over this since this has nothing to do with his job. If these allegations are true, Phillips may have explaining to do to his fiance.
Twitter users have been having a field day with the Phillips scandal. You can see some of the reaction from users below. The first tweet below is from a parody Vince McMahon account.
What are your thoughts on this story? Should Phillips be reprimanded, as some have suggested on social media? Or should this be ignored by WWE? Do you think Phillips will be back at the commentary table on Tuesday for Smackdown Live? Scroll down and leave your comments at the bottom of this page.

Folks jumping on Tom Phillips today should take a look at all of their DMs, texts, and emails. Most all of us could be embarrassed somehow.
