— Former WWE Superstar Shotzi recently spoke candidly about her difficult past, revealing that she is a survivor of years of sexual abuse at the hands of her uncle.
During a recent appearance on Saraya’s “Rulebreakers” podcast, Shotzi shared that the abuse began when she was just eight years old and continued for four years. With deep emotion, the former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champion recalled the pain she endured, explaining,
“So, I was eight when it started. He moved to America from the Philippines and my mom took him in. And it was both me and my sister. And it lasted until I was 12, until I went to the police about it. Which actually made things a lot worse for me.”
“Yeah, four years of sexual abuse. And I just want to say, like, you coming out about that is just so powerful because I feel like a lot of people don’t want to talk about sexual trauma. They are really ashamed about it, really embarrassed about it. And I completely understand that. But so many women and men, too, go through it. And it leads to a lot of suicides. But if we talked about it more, we could prevent a lot of that. So yeah, I just think this is so important to talk about.”
“Yeah, I told my friend that it was happening. And she was like, ‘We need to tell somebody.’ And we ended up going to a school counselor and telling her and she immediately reported it.”
“Then I was taken to the police station. And it was so scary. Like, as a 12-year-old, I don’t even know how to explain these things that are happening to me. And yeah, that was really hard. Just going through explaining what was going on with me at the police station. I was there for hours. It was a really grueling day.”
