Rhea Ripley reveals unsettling fan obtaining phone number incident
WWE star Rhea Ripley revealed a recent fan encounter that left her feeling uncomfortable, and expressed concern over the incident.
During a Twitch livestream with Gabriel Aeros (aka King Kreas) and Buddy Matthews, Ripley addressed a disturbing incident involving a fan texting to see her because they could not get WWE SmackDown tickets. Aeros asked her about fans crossing personal boundaries to approach her, to which Ripley stated it is quite scary.
“Yeah, all the time. Especially when people walk up to my f**king house. And text me on my actual mobile phone.”
“I won’t say how but someone found my phone number and they text me the other day, wanting me to see them cause they couldn’t buy tickets to SmackDown.”
“It baffles me, it really does. Like there’s no privacy anywhere.”
Ripley has frequently spoken about the importance of respecting personal boundaries and privacy between wrestlers and fans. She has repeatedly urged them to avoid breaching her privacy and approaching her at home and refrain from sending gifts.
