Shotzi Blackheart has had a great run in NXT so far and continues to be a highlight. She is preparing for NXT TakeOver WarGames. She has gone through a lot in her life and she now has another story to tell.
While speaking to Chasing Glory, Blackheart was revealed a dark chapter in his life. She revealed that she was sexually assaulted during her freshman year in high school. When she came forward with her story, no one believed her and that made things worse for her.
“I had fun in school, except for high school. High school was the worst. I deal with — girls were really mean to me in high school, it was the worst. And I was raped in high school, like my freshman year … But like, I told my best friend and she got me to come out about it. And everyone at school did not believe me. And like, they just labeled me as a slut. They were just like, ‘She’s lying, she’s a skank.’ And I just got bullied. I would come to school and go to one period, and then I I would get bullied so much that I would just run back home. So I had to change high schools like halfway through my freshman year. And then I just was like, ‘I don’t want friends. I just want musical theater. I just want to hide in the theater.’ So I kind of did. I just stayed in the theater, I ate lunch in the theater, I just focused on musical theater.”
Blackheart eventually found her way into the world of professional wrestling and she has never looked back since then.
