Rhea Ripley Reveals She’s Dealing With Eating Disorder

Rhea Ripley has revealed that she’s been dealing with an eating disorder ahead of her match with Jade Cargill at WrestleMania 42. Ripley was the focus of an Instagram video from a man who was questioning her recent change in her body and slimmed down state. He shared comments from people claiming that she had quit steroids and talked how she may have changed her gym routine.

Ripley commented on the video and wrote:

“Just a little eating disorder that I’m actively trying to handle [peace sign emoji]”

A number of fans have spoken up to defend Ripley, telling the influencer to “Leave female bodies alone” and being supportive of the WWE star.

Ripley previously took to Twitter to shoot down a report that her body change came as a result of “back pain caused by her muscle mass,” noting that the alleged interview that claimed to quote her never happened and that it was “Just another made up thing about me.”

Ripley will challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42 night two, which takes place on April 18th and 19th at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show will air live on ESPN Unlimited in the US and on Netflix internationally.
