“I felt like I was failing at my job, I felt like I was failing in my personal life. And the embarrassment of being divorced again and then being compared to my father. Hold on, let me gather myself. When I made the decision to file for divorce, the only thing that I kept thinking was like, I just didn’t want anyone to know. Like, ‘Oh my gosh, I have failed again.’ And then my knee and then I think, you know, as women — I think men, too — but it’s like, everyone’s probably thinking, ‘Well, she’s going to come back a year older. She’s going to come back less than. She’s coming back off this knee injury.’ And, unfortunately, the WWE audience hasn’t gotten to see the comeback of Charlotte Flair. This wasn’t a Charlotte Flair redemption story. But for me, it’s a redemption story for me, because everything that I have feared or been scared of or embarrassed of publicly. Because everyone has an opinion, even if they don’t know the facts.”
