Total Divas was the worst thing to happen to her. Producers just shoving drama and alcohol in her face for ratings. Someone so young along with fame and money it was a recipe for disaster.

It’s ultimately a decision that you make to consume alcohol or drugs. I grew up on the “just say no” ads, I was taught at an early age to know right from wrong. Regardless of her being young, she’s not a victim. She went through tough times, had a great career and good on her for bouncing back, but let’s stop with the “woke” bullshit

Addictions are tough, and real demons. Good on ya Saraya for still being here and also having self reflection to learn from things. People need to keep in mind just how young Paige was when dealing with all this, makes it even more difficult.

How do you know she still isn't addicted?
Her dad's reaction was hilarious and so true. I really liked saraya in the ring and love that she is now doing better in life and she sounds and looks great. She is so real it's refreshing.
I'm happy that we get to see this happy outgoing side of her again. Addiction is something that can literally kill the soul and make a person not want to live anymore. As someone who has a good bit of time in being sober as well, I can understand the struggle and appreciate your insights into the difference between then and now. I'm not famous so no clue on how that can affect recovery, but mad respect for this woman and it made me so happy to see the career resurgence. Wishing all the best to you and yours. Just remember to keep it one day at a time.

This is amazing. Thank you for sharing Saraya. I am in recovery. I have followed your recovery as well. You are a true inspiration. What you are doing here is helping people. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’re helping others by sharing your story. Much Love.
I’m proud of Sarayas journey since her early days in WWE. God bless her for sharing her story. Her bravery will bring hope and courage to those fighting the same battles she is. Thank you for sharing.
Addiction and mental health is very serious. I applaud Saraya for being so strong sharing her story of what she went through during that time. Remember that we're all human and we all make mistakes. Don't be a bully and support each other.

As someone who's no stranger to substance abuse, I understand what kind of damage it inflicts not just on the mind, but the soul. I also feel like those struggles can teach us valuable lessons, if we let them. When I finally got clean, I felt my mind, heart, and soul all start to heal. I was appreciating things I had taken for granted. I'm really glad that Saraya managed to beat her demons, and I wish nothing but clear skies for her.

Her parents are the most loud mouth, crazy talking, fully out there bunch that an individual would think "the family should be institutionalized", the pure definition of a tough love family. But as Dwayne Johnson's movie showed, they all love and care for each other so deeply. So her father's response is hey shit happens and you will come through the other side tougher and better for it. That's true tough love... her parents in front of cameras come off as a not really cuddly, coddled the children bunch.

She looks awful. Christ. Would probably melt if she walked under a lamp.
What happened to Saraya was disgusting and really awful. I do hope people heed her words about "I'm never doing anything like that again". It's not the victim's fault the videos and pictures were leaked, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing that can be done to prevent something like that from happening. Your digital footprint is never 100% safe, whether it's someone intentionally leaking it or someone hacking into your cloud backup, be safe and say No if someone wants to record you having sex. Again, I am in no way blaming the victim, this shouldn't happen, but it does and it can happen to anyone.

Paige is One of the Best superstar of NXT of All time ,
I will never forget the day Paige's photos and videos leaked. I was actually out with a friend when my cousin texted me about them with urgency saying he wanted to show them to me, and I remember saying I honestly wasn't interested because I was aware of what she was going through at the time and I felt bad for her. If I remember correctly, Paige had just had her neck injury and it didn't seem like she was going to wrestle again. My cousin got mad at me over it but it just felt very wrong. I mean, seeing anyone's private photos leak is always wrong to some degree, but in Paige's case and with me being a fan of hers, I really had no interest at the time. I ended up stumbling across the photos a couple years later on twitter🤷🏾♂️.

As an opiate addict i get pissed off when coke heads or meth heads talk about how shity it was to get off of it. I just want to smack them in the face and say you got it easy. I wish all I had to do was go through withdrawal from Coke. Try getting off opiates. I'd say the same thing for alcohol and benzos however withdrawing from those can kill you so even though they may not feel as bad they are on par because you know the whole Death part.
