Thea Hail Speaks Out About Hate She’s Received On Social Media

Thea Hail took to social media on Sunday to speak out against the hate that she’s received from wrestling fans. The NXT star posted an emotional video on Sunday to her Twitter acocunt in which she pushes back against the toxicity and negativity that she’s seen directed at her.

Hail also addressed the general negativity from wrestling fans online and asked fans to think about what it would be like for people to say the directed at her to them.

You can see the full transcript of her comments below:

“I’ve been wanting to touch on this subject for a long time now, and I just haven’t felt like I should — and now my opunion’s changed. I’m a 22 year-old girl. Think about that for a second. I wouldn’t have even graduated if I went. I moved away in the middle of high school to pursue my dream, because I valued that over comfortability. And most people could never have fathomed to do that.

“And every day to look at my Twitter timeline or look at social media and see negative comments about me as a human being is disgusting. I’ve worked my ass off for five years for the biggest moment of my career, and you all take it as a joke. You act like I’m the worst human being in the world for my one ounce of success that I finally had.

“It sucks. I don’t think you understand every day that I wake up happy, sad, miserable — I don’t care, I put professional wrestling above everything. And for five years, I have valued this industry to such an extent, and I valued others’ opinions. And it is exhausting.

“I love this more than anything, but what I don’t love is to constantly be torn down by other people, by other human beings. At the end of the day, I am a person. I am a 22-year-old girl who is getting to live my dreams. And for some reason that’s wrong? And for some reason you guys decide that you want to go hate on somebody else because you’re not happy with yourself. You feel the need to tear somebody else down to build yourself up, are you serious? I don’t understand it, I don’t understand the level of hate in professional wrestling today.

“And for just one second, I would love for you guys to internally think, ‘Would you like for somebody to say this about me?’ Think about that.

“So please take an extra 10 seconds before you put something on social media, please. And remember that the person on the other end of it is also a human being. So I don’t know what to tell you. Happy Sunday. Go to church.”
