Rhea Ripley talked about the times when she used to hate herself
Rhea Ripley is one of the most popular names in the world of professional wrestling. The Eradicator has a massive fanbase, and her fans love her for her personality and aura in and out of the ring. But not many know that The Eradicator used to hate herself at one point in her career due to her persona. The former Women’s World Champion recently got candid about that time in her recent interview.
Speaking with COMPLEX, Ripley said that when she was in NXT, she used to get terrified by how she looked. The 29-year-old star added that she did not like her broad shoulders and muscle mass, which made her shopping days frustrating.
“Oh, I’m pretty comfortable. And what were the NXT shopping days like though, dude? It was terrifying. It made me feel like honestly how I felt in high school when I was shopping for my graduation. I just felt so nervous and uneasy and I felt like I hated myself in everything that I was wearing. I thought my shoulders were too broad. I just thought I was like a weirdly shaped human. I just hated all the clothes on me. So shopping those days was terrifying,” said Ripley. (H/T: Ringside News)
