Rhea Ripley recently had to reveal she had an eating
disorder to calm down fake news being spread around her on
social media.
Appearing on the Pod Meets World podcast with Danielle
Fishel and Will Friedle, the former WWE Women’s World
champion addressed her issue more in detail, saying that the
past year has been really difficult for her, especially
since it affects her a lot if friends or family at home are
going through difficult times themselves.
She says thankfully, her husband, her dogs, and her friends
are her strong points and going on X is really difficult for
her.
“I need to delete that. It’s hard going on and trying to
make it a work environment, but then, because it is a work
environment, I get all these things coming up on my For You
page. As soon as I click on the app, it’s negative towards
me,” Ripley wrote.
“I can’t even escape it or doom-scroll like a normal human
without seeing things about me, about my body, about my
booking, about me as a human, even though they don’t know
who the hell I am. It does get really tiring, but that’s
also why I like to share what I’m going through.”
She said originally there was no plan to reveal what she was
going through, but also saying what she has might help
others too in the process.
“I needed that when I was going through stuff as a kid. If I
knew my idols were going through these struggles and they
are powering through and being amazing, and I look up to
them and think they are strong and larger than life, then I
can get through it too,” Ripley said.
