WWE star Paige spoke with The New York Post to promote her upcoming film Fighting With My Family. During the conversation, Paige discussed the fallout from her intimate home videos that leaked online in 2017.
“To be publicly humiliated like that was terrible, and I don’t wish that for anyone,” Paige said.
She went into depression and was nearly suicidal. “I didn’t go to work; I didn’t do anything. I felt so rock bottom,” she said.
Paige revealed how one day when she was at a grocery store in Texas she had an encounter with a 7 year-old female fan and how it helped her cope.
“Of course, she didn’t have the internet and thought I was the most beautiful and most successful woman in the world,” Paige said. “It opened my eyes to so many things. I was like, ‘I’m gonna let videos get in the way of things?’ ”
“I thought, what am I doing? I need to be successful for her. My whole journey was supposed to be about inspiring people,” she added.
Paige said that this wholesome encounter was the reason she was able to get out of the downward spiral and work on herself to inspire others.
Paige’s wrestling career unfortunately came to an end when she suffered another neck injury and retired for fear from getting paralyzed.
However, she was able to continue working as the SmackDown Live General Manager for almost a year.
The interview also focused on her earliest days of wrestling as a 13-year old and making it into the WWE and becoming the Divas Champion.
