WWE star hits back over ‘Body shaming’

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) stars have shared their support for fellow Wrestler Peyton Royce, who criticised a Journalist for his comments about her weight.

Wrestling Observer Newsletter Journalist Dave Meltzer said in a radio interview that Royce used to be “A lot lighter” and agreed with the interviewer that she “Was more attractive” before she left WWE’s NXT brand in April 2018.

Royce now appears as part of the company’s main roster of wrestlers on SmackDown, where she partners with fellow Australian Billie Kay.

Meltzer has since apologised for his comments, calling Royce “An exceedingly attractive woman” and stating that he “Realizes the lengths and pressures on women in the entertainment world to maintain unnatural looks”.

Royce took to social media to share her frustration after a fan tweeted the segment of the radio show about her, asking Meltzer if she should “Starve herself”.
