I Was Body Shamed In Front Of The Internet | Wrestling Star Deonna Purrazzo

Описание: As a 5x world champion, Deonna Purrazzo is one of the top professional wrestlers in the world.

But on January 13, 2024, everything shifted.

After a televised match aired nationally, a short video clip went viral—not because of her performance, but because of her appearance. Thousands of strangers flooded the internet with ruthless, body-shaming commentary.

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Deonna opens up about:
– What it felt like to be publicly torn apart
– The emotional aftermath of that moment
– The viral tweet that became a cultural line in the sand

We explore what it means to exist in a profession—and a culture—that constantly critiques women’s bodies. From internalized shame to emotional resilience, from invisible scars to body image distortion, this episode holds nothing back.

And we ask the bigger question: What happens when society tells you to “love your body”… while demanding you change it?

This is not just a story about wrestling It’s a story about objectification, survival, and the courage it takes to be a light in a dark space.
