Former TNA Knockouts Champion Masha Slamovich has broken her silence after being accused publicly of domestic abuse.

Masha Slamovich has been accused of domestic abuse by a friend of her former partner, MLW wrestler Akira. The friend went public with a Dropbox link that allegedly contained text messages between Slamovich and Akira where domestic abuse issues are discussed.

Akira took to social media, where he issued a lengthy statement and discussed his relationship and detailed how the issue had affected his mental health. Although Slamovich is never mentioned by name in Akira’s post.

Masha Slamovich Embarrassed & Ashamed

Now Masha Slamovich has issued her response to the allegations, indicating that she takes responsibility for her actions and apologising:

Up until the beginning of this year, I was in a toxic and mutually destructive relationship. We hurt each other deeply, and in private moments, failed to treat each other with the consideration and respect we both deserve.

I take responsibility for my actions and I am sorry, embarrassed, and ashamed of the role I played in our relationship and the way things turned out.

In the time since, I have sought help to reflect on this time and deal with conflict in more mature, healthier, and sustainable ways.

I apologize to those I let down, including my former partner. I hope he is able to heal.

This will be my only statement on the matter.

TNA Wrestling has already opened an investigation into the situation, with Masha Slamovich also removed from upcoming advertised bookings on the independent scene.

Slamovich lost the TNA Knockouts Title at Slammiversary to NXT’s Jacy Jayne. Slamovich was pinned in a three-way match when Ash By Elegance won that title to bring it back to TNA.
