• “She’s sleeping with her boss” – Rhea Ripley Fires Back At Fans
Rhea Ripley posted the following on X:
“Women’s wrestling fan – ‘women deserve better’
(Same breath)
– ‘she’s sleeping with her boss that’s why she’s where she is’
– ‘She should retire’
– ‘She doesn’t deserve it’
– ‘She’s handed everything and never worked for anything’
– ‘I hope she gets injured’
YOU guys are the real reason it’s so difficult to be taken seriously as a women’s wrestler.
If YOU put as much effort into your own miserable lives as you put into degrading successful women, then maybe you would accomplish something yourself.”
