WWE star Lacey Evans caught some heat in Canada over the weekend due to an in-character video she posted with a police officer ... and now she's clearing the air. 

In case you missed it, Evans posted a video of herself calling an RCMP officer nasty and doing her usual schtick while getting ticketed in Edmonton, Alberta. “You nasty thing, I’ll pay the ticket,” she says in the video. Adding, "Canada is terrible.”

Local news then reported it was a legitimate traffic stop, causing the wrestler to catch online flack. 

Evans clarified the situation in a statement to CTV:

"The general public now believe this interaction was real when the officer and I planned to start recording and have him walk up again with the citation in hand. As prior law enforcement myself, I didn't expect people to honestly believe this was real considering I am an entertainer and was in town for a performance."

She also posted an additional statement via Twitter:

"As prior law enforcement myself and a United States Marine, I do not condone, agree with or promote disrespecting or making LEO’s jobs harder than they already are. The video was created by both parties to promote the local live event taking place in the Edmonton area. As a sports entertainer, it’s my job to not only entertain but also set the proper example. So with that being said…I’m glad you all were entertained but if you ever try to disrespect or put my brothers and sisters in blue in harm…I hope you get what you ask for. – Sgt Estrella"
