Mia Yim isn’t a fan of social media.
Last month, Mia Yim returned to IMPACT after a short layoff from the ring following her WWE release. Yim was a former NXT Women’s Title challenger and was a part of Retribution as Reckoning. Following this storyline, Yim was quietly released by the company.
While speaking on Busted Open Radio, Mia Yim blasted social media for being trash and having hordes of toxicity.
“So it’s like, especially after the past year, there were a lot of people that’s been rooting for me and just saying, ‘Why would they take her identity away?’ But then of course, you get the stuff that you don’t want to read or deal with, and it lingers on you,”
“Social media is trash to be honest. It hordes a lot of toxicity. After a lot of time at home I was just trying to stay busy so I don’t get into my own head. But it still leaks in. That’s why I spent a lot of time like, once my 90 days were up in February, I’m like, I’m gonna take a month or two off just to focus on my real life and handle business at home and try to decide what exactly I wanted to do.”
