Charlotte Flair On Body Image Issues, Dealing With Negativity From Being The "Bad Guy"
Charlotte Flair spoke to RTE on both wrestlers and fans rising above body shamming comments. Here are some of the highlights:
Body image issues:
"Negative comments in terms of body image are the hardest thing the women probably struggle with. But I think the best thing that we can do as WWE superstars is taking that negativity and using it in a positive way, because there are so many young kids on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to not send the message of hate on to. [We need to] ignore if someone is saying something bad, and not add fuel to the fire."
Dealing with the negativity, partly due to her role:
"No one ever has a chance to get to know the real me because I do play a bad guy, and sometimes it's hard to soak in the comments or the negativity because that's the response you want to illicit. I am a normal person, but that's part of the job. I'm playing a character and that's my role."
Charlotte Flair also discussed wanting to be a positive role model for fans. You can read the full interview by clicking here.
