Kierra Lewis And Alex Wennberg Drama
Alex Wennberg of the Seattle Kraken has come out after his wife uploaded an Instagram post denouncing the “BookTok” TikTok group for tormenting the NHL veteran. Alex expressed his dissatisfaction with the behavior and language used in the group after reading a highly charged post by prominent “BookTok” figure Kierra Lewis.
An argument involving the authors of BookTook and professional ice hockey seems surprising at first. According to Mari of @mynameismarines, the crossover began after Kierra read Emily Rath’s PUCKING AROUND. Because the setting of her adult romance book is the hockey world, Kierra has apparently grown to love the game and has started writing about the handsome players she finds there.
“[After reading PUCKING AROUND], Kierra starts to gain more interest in the Seattle Kraken… she starts making these vlogs where she is watching games,” Mari notes. “She’s also adding commentary where she is sexualizing some of the players.”
Soon, the Seattle Kraken began capitalizing off this viral moment, posting fan-style edits of players. The team’s TikTok account and the official NHL page even made content referencing BookTok. However, these videos have since been deleted from the @seattlekraken account.
The management of the Kraken invited multiple TikTok creators to watch live hockey games because BookTok was the team’s secret weapon for becoming viral. Earlier this year, Kierra went to game four of the playoffs, where she received a “BookTok” shirt. A placard that stated “#KrackMyBack” was also delivered by the artist; this expression is well-known among BookTok users who love the Seattle Kraken.
The Seattle Kraken squad supported all of the BookTok content, but it seemed uncomfortable for the players to be sexualized online. When Felicia, the wife of Seattle Kraken center Alex Wennberg, blogged about the situation on her Instagram stories over the weekend, things came to a head.
“I always thought Alex was the most beautiful person in the world and that it just seems the world finally caught up,” she begins. “The reason I struggled to navigate this is while I’m all for female empowerment and especially around sex, there have been videos and comments made that have crossed the line of what it means to fancy someone and when it actually sounds pretty predatory and exploiting.”
She exhorts women to hold themselves to higher standards, pointing out that many women have experienced over-sexualization and that they shouldn’t support this behavior.
“I feel that women who have experienced catcalling, getting involuntarily filmed in exposed situations (like a groin stretch at their job) should hold themselves to a higher standard. You can be sex-positive without exploiting others.”
“As someone who’s been media trained my whole career, I’ve been taught to bite my tongue and to leave it instead of making a statement,” Alex’s statement read via a post to his Instagram story. “But it has gone too far for me to stay quiet when people post vile comments on my wife’s Instagram and on photos of our child. I’m all for the BookTok community to write books and fiction about hockey, but the aggressive language about real-life players is too much.”
The Instagram post was made in response to one made just a few days before by Felica Weeren, Alex’s wife, in which she directly criticized the community for its treatment of the Kraken forward on the platform.
“While I’m all for female empowerment and especially around sex, there have been videos and comments made that have crossed the line of what it means to fancy someone and when it actually sounds pretty predatory and [exploitative],” Felica said in part in her statement. “What doesn’t sit with me is when your desires come with sexual harassment, inappropriate comments, and the fact that with the internet, we can normalize behavior that would never be ok if we flipped the genders around.”
The Kraken’s bond with the “BookTok” community had been a recurring motif during the previous season; at one point, the team even flew Lewis out and gave her a jersey that was specially made for the community. However, as the team kept stoking the fires, the fan base apparently became increasingly crude, even messaging players directly, as Wennberg and Weeren detailed in their statements.

“I’m listening to the words, and I’m like, ‘Hold on, let’s just see how this man looks.’ And when I found his Instagram, I literally had to pull over in the car. I was like, ‘No, no, no. You’re telling me this is how a country singer looks?’ Because I didn’t even know there were going to be a lot of them,” Kierra told Sounds Like Nashville. “I got my phone, and I always make Instagram stories and Snapchat stories, so I’m just used to just grabbing my phone and just instantly expressing how I feel, so I just went to the TikTok app and made a TikTok video.”
