It’s taken me a day to read through the sickening things have been going on in the shadows. Change is needed to eradicate this culture that has infested the business. I’m so sorry to hear what you’ve had to endure.

Keep #SpeakingOut, be brave ladies and gents. We support you. 🖤

I’m only just catching up properly with social media and wow. Seeing so many of you speaking out against these disgusting humans makes me so sad to see your experiences but proud of you for telling your story. Keep using your voice. We love you and have your back ❤️ #SpeakingOut

I've had many advances made to me when I was a teenager (14 onwards). I was forced to wrestle in nothing but boxers for a priest under the guise of it being a "TV taping". I was sent lewd photos and given hotel numbers. I was lucky that it never went beyond this. #SpeakingOut

I was taught at the time to ignore the dark side of wrestling, to grow thick skin. As a teenager, I didn't understand the severity of it all. MANY have had it much worse than I. Listen to their stories. We can be better. #SpeakingOut

A lot of brave voices #speakingout. I don’t know if I could ever have that much courage. I hate that anyone had to go though this; in any way, shape or form. Please know we have your back

You don’t have to share your pain. But if you do, realize how incredibly brave you are. Sharing your pain may prevent someone from experiencing that same pain. My heart is with you. #SpeakingOut

The things I have read today have made me sick to my stomach.

To anyone Speaking Out I’m sorry you had to go through these things, thank you for your courage.

To my colleagues, if you ever need a confidant at work it would be my honor.

Sex abuse needs to end.#SpeakingOut

I pray our industry is swiftly rid of all these predators & abusers. To everyone brave enough to tell their story, I’m so sorry you had to endure this. #SpeakingOut

THIS. The amount of untold stories, typed & then deleted. As I could imagine for so many others as well.

It’s okay to not be ready. So much love and respect for those who are #SpeakingOut https://t.co/mkNSEJcTmT
