Paige has been vocal about a lot of things lately, namely how WWE won’t take her Twitch channel from her. One of the things she’s remained silent on is her past relationship with Alberto Del Rio.
The former WWE star and Paige had a rocky relationship that was often covered in the dirt sheets with allegations of abuse coming up often. The accusations picked up steam in the wake of what seemed to be an incident at Orlando International Airport back in 2017. Those accusations may have had more weight with the recent arrest of Del Rio for abusing his current, and assumedly now ex, girlfriend.
Now Paige has broken her silence on Del Rio. Speaking with GAW TV, Paige opened up on Del Rio’s physical abuse.
“I’ve never spoken about it before, whether podcasts or interviews, I always stayed away. But now it’s completely out there. I’m like, ‘why am I shying away from this? Why am I not brave enough to talk about it?’
In the beginning, you’re fighting back with this person. But in the end, it becomes a cycle. Eventually, something is happening to you every day.
You could be trapped in a room for 6-7 hours, getting your ass beat every couple of minutes. And he’s doing all these crazy things to you.”
She even opened up as to why she’s avoided speaking about it until now.
“I wanted to stay away from the Internet victim blame. Even if I don’t say anything, they’d be like, ‘It’s partly your fault and ABC reasons why [you’re going through stuff]. Or I would be told all this stuff never happened, it was all your imagination.
Now it’s all out there. And you put out what you receive. And right now, he’s receiving it.”
