Gail Kim doesn't work for the WWE anymore, but that didn't stop the TNA Knockout from ripping Vince McMahon for his treatment of the Divas.
WWE NXT Spoilers For May and June
With Triple H sculpting the ladies of the NXT division into future top stars and having them main event shows, Kim took notice while also bashing her former boss in McMahon.
Kim took to Twitter to praise Triple H, but she also laid into McMahon and called him "sexist."
At least @TripleH has a clue on how to book women. @VinceMcMahon needs a clue. #sexist #WomenCanMainEventAnyDay https://t.co/oPoB05B9kl

Vince Russo Rips Vince McMahon, 'Forgot How To Make Stars'
Kim worked for the WWE from 2002-04 and then again from 2008-11 under McMahon and she has also worked for Dixie Carter's TNA on two different stints from 2005-07 and then again from 2011 until present day.
Kim is a one-time WWE Women's Champion and a four-time TNA Knockouts Champion while she also won Knockout of the Year in 2007 and Queen of the Knockouts in 2013.
The comments come on the heels of rumors circulating that McMahon is at a major impasse with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon over how the Divas should be portrayed.
Triple H and Stephanie believe the ladies of the WWE need to play a bigger role, especially after seeing Ronda Rousey grace the cover of Sports Illustrated, which the two took as a sign of changing times. The couple is said to be very high on Rousey and what she's done for women in the public eye.
Vince, however, is reportedly against changing the Divas' roles too drastically as he believes things are fine the way they are and that the women of wrestling are good in the role that they have now.
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding the Divas division as of late ever since the #GiveDivasAChance hashtag began to trend earlier this year.
It also led to a memorable and controversial issue on Twitter when AJ Lee very publicly confronted Stephanie McMahon for the treatment of Divas and their lack of screen time.
The three-time Divas Champion eventually retired from the WWE shortly after WrestleMania 31 in March, likely due to an impending lawsuit between her husband CM Punk and WWE doctor Chris Amann over comments Punk made on Colt Cabana's podcast in November.
The WWE has attempted to make the Divas feuds more prominent and to give them more time in the ring, but there still remains an internal struggle over how they should be used.
The success of the Total Divas reality show has also factored into the thought process of giving the Divas more time.
While it seems as though the Divas are at least part of the important conversation in the WWE these days, Kim had some scathing words for the company's CEO.
