Karen Jarrett didn’t hold anything back when discussing Dixie Carter recently, calling her evil and a negative for wrestling as a whole. Jarrett made some of her feelings on Carter known in the second episode of the Dark Side of the Ring three-parter on Jeff Jarett and TNA when she said “nuked [Jeff’s] his whole f**king life” when she found out about their relationship. She took it further in an appearance on her husband’s My World podcast.

Karen noted that she’s only recently begun to realize her animosity for the former TNA head, calling her “vain” and “evil.” You can see the highlights below:

On Her Animosity Toward Carer:

“There’s so many ‘what ifs’ or ‘what could have been.’ We’re in a great place now, but that to me — and I didn’t realize until about six months ago how much rage and hate I still have for that woman, like to the depth that I have for that woman. She tried to destroy my husband, but only made us stronger.

“‘Everything happens for a reason,’ I try to tell myself, and it was all part of God’s plan. But that woman — she caused a lot of pain, and a lot of people lost their jobs for being associated with Jeff Jarrett… Her ego. Absolutely, I think she did it intentionally. I think she is a very vain, evil woman. She has no idea how Jeff protected her from herself for years. How Vince Russo protected her from herself for years.”

On If Carter Was a Positive or Negative For Wrestling:

“1000%, a net f**king negative.”
