In early 2001, The Kat began a new storyline with a stable called the Right to Censor, a group of wrestlers purportedly wanting to rein in the vulgarity of the "Attitude Era," during which she demanded equal time for the "right for nudity". At No Way Out, Jerry Lawler, who was representing The Kat, lost a match to Steven Richards, the head of the stable, after The Kat mistakenly hit Lawler with the Women's Championship belt. As a result of Lawler losing the match, she was forced to join the stable. On February 27, 2001, however, Carter was released from the WWF in the middle of the storyline. As a result, her husband Jerry Lawler also quit the company. According to Lawler, Carter was released from the WWF because Vince McMahon decided to end the angle with the Right to Censor. Other insiders cite Carter's negative backstage attitude as the reason for her dismissal.
