– ROH and TNA alumna Taeler Hendrix spoke out on Instagram about the sexual harassment she has experienced and suffered. Hendrix posted to Instagram in the wake of sexual harassment claims coming out from all corrners following the allegations against Harvey Weinstein coming out. You can see her post below.
In the post, Hendrix, “In my life, I’ve met hundreds of women who have been body shamed, raped, sexually assaulted, &/or sexually harassed. I’m sad to say that I’m one of them. Since a young age I’ve been body shamed, drugged, assaulted & harassed.”
Hendrix posted a picture of her pet Slinky, who she said is a registered Emotional Support Animal, and said, “Anyone that knows or follows me knows my puppy Slinky! What they may not know is that he’s my registered Emotional Support Animal! This rescue dog has rescued me. He’s helped me find my smile. He helps me feel protected. He’s been with me through the worst of things. He saw me through to the point in my life where I’d meet my future husband.”
She told people to speak out if they can find the courage to do so, saying, “We aren’t toys for your pleasure. WE DON’T Want IT & we certainly aren’t the create-a-player function in a video game. Measure us by our heart & gumption. We’re moms, daughters, sisters. I didn’t ask for my body! My body was God given & I’m pretty sure He didn’t give you permission to abuse his creations. I’ll NEVER be taken [advantage] of EVER again. I’m worth more than a paycheck, a job opportunity, etc…I’ll speak up for others who may think they can’t because at one point, I felt like I had no voice either.”
