Logged into Twitter for the first time since last night, and I'm immediately greeted with the fact that the indie trainer I recommended to my roster AND my favourite comic writer are both giant fucking creeps.
And honestly?
I don't feel anything anymore. I just feel apathy now.
@XenaaPro Says a lot about the promotion to really, premiere promotion in Melbourne and they have known about these complaints for years & only now they are starting to do something 🤷🏼♀️
Promoters who also don’t do anything to stop fans when they overstep the mark need to be held accountable too. Our safety is worth more than the $15 ticket money you get when some of you don’t even pay your talent, assholes
Aye real quick.... Fans get away with alot of stuff at shows like harrassment, disrespect, and on the internet so let's make sure we cancelling them as well.... Every aspect of wrestling is being clean let's hold yall asses accountable also #FansAreNotExempt
I am not yet comfortable sharing my stories, but talking to one of my best friends tonight has helped me see that is okay, because I talked to someone about it.
Please message me if you need, even if you don't know me, I am always available to listen.

@AriaDee93 @AaronRefwards I left a promotion after nothing was done after bringing to the promoter information in a fan who was yelling sexually explicit things out during my matches & his daughter sending me abusive inboxes. I left there as their champion & have never been back since
Wrestling is an escape for a lot of people, an escape from the real world and the real issues they deal with on a day to day basis. So many people have had the courage to speak out and start to put an end to these… https://t.co/sZBlpeZAg2
This has never just been about men. I’ve heard of women set other female rookies up for the boys, sexual favours exchanged to get bookings & being the instigator in sexual jokes making other women feel uncomfortable. It all has to stop #SpeakingOut
I know I’ve been rambling today but to add : there are toxic WOMEN in this business too. Women who are saying not to believe victims . FUCK THEM TOO, you know exactly who you are.
@ScarlettKPW And probably not using this as an advantageous time to advertise your wrestling school to women claiming your hands are clean when they aren’t
This shouldn’t be normal. This doesn’t even cover what dealt with since 09. I’ve been hit on, groped, harassed, black balled, sexualised in locker room talk, had boys expose themselves purposely in locker rooms. Being older or married never stopped this #SpeakingOut
@jason_nerdlife This doesn’t include any internal harassment, approaching promoters about sexual harassment on multiple occasions & nothing being done. I stopped working for that company after that
I dont know a single woman who hasn't been sexually harassed or assaulted in her life. Take a second and think about how horrific that is. Believe women. Listen to women.
I'm tired of being quiet and protecting others as I was worried they would end my career before it really started. I'm going to stir the pot and fight for change #SpeakOut
Wrestling in Australia as a woman can feel so isolating and unsupported when things happen. You don’t have other women you can turn to. Well at least this has been my experience. This has hit to close to home #SpeakingOut
You can’t be a woman in this business and not get sexually assaulted in one way or another and the best part is then you’re expected to shake their hands after!
