WWE Star Michin Makes Heartbreaking Personal Confession: “It Was A Violent Relationship”
Michin has just made a heartbreaking confession.
Michin has been a part of the WWE roster for several years now. She is regularly featured on WWE TV and is always involved in key storylines. Currently, Michin is working with Jade Cargill and B-Fab on SmackDown.
Although Michin is known for being a great worker in the ring, she is still in pursuit of her first WWE championship. Michin is one of the most beloved stars on the WWE roster. While she is loved by the fans, Michin has had to deal with some tough personal relationships.
Michin confessed to being in a violent relationship
During a recent appearance on What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon, Michin confessed to being in a violent relationship when she moved to Orlando. She said that this relationship led her to take up therapy. During this time, she would often break down when narrating her story to her co-workers.
“What led me go into therapy was it was a violent relationship and it was hard because like, it’s to the point now it’s been long enough and I’ve been doing therapy long enough where like everything happens for a reason. I learned a lot from it and I forgive everybody. When it was happening to me, what made me want to be vocal about it and tell my story was when I would go and open up to my fellow co-workers or anytime I have Shimmer, like just kind of breakdown and like it was so much pressure at home that once I left, like I just couldn’t help but breakdown.”
Michin also said that what made her mad was the fact that people expected her to deal with abuse since she is a wrestler.
“The common thing that pissed me off about it all is the fact that as women wrestlers, when we go through that, all of a sudden it’s like, ‘Oh well, you’re a wrestler. You should be used to that.’”
The WWE star added that there were other female wrestlers who thought that they would be made fun of if they revealed that they were getting abused at home when they were competing in intergender matches.
“Seeing all of these girlfriends of mine, like, ‘Yeah, you know, we go through it too, but what can we say? We wrestle guys too. What can we say?’ And it’s like, f*** that. Absolutely not. Because that’s why it keeps happening.”
She also noted that there could be a woman out there wrestling an intergender match while going through abuse at home.
“I need to put this message out because there’s a woman that’s having an intergender match this weekend that’s getting beat up at home. But she feels like she can’t say anything because she has this freaking match with the guy. Now she’s worried about all these other wrestlers laughing at her because she can’t defend herself at home. But then if she defends herself at home, then she’s the abuser. You know what I mean? So it’s like it’s such a double edged sword, a vicious cycle.”
She made it clear that she wants to let other women know that abuse is not ok, even if they are wrestlers who compete in intergender matches.
“I really just wanted to use my own lesson, but also platform it and tell the other women wrestlers like, yeah, even though you’re a wrestler and you may wrestle guys, you may do hardcore matches, this is not OK.” [H/T Ringside News]
It’s sad to hear that Michin had to deal with a terrible, violent relationship in the past.
