As we previously reported, popular YouTuber Trisha Paytas released a rant video about her experiences with Dolph Ziggler. She has now released a video criticizing fans due to their treatment of her following the release of that video.
Paytas introduced her video by explaining that she isn’t a ‘ring rat’ just because she isn’t a wrestling fan, calling it ‘stupid’ and ‘boring.’ She explains that Ziggler followed her on social media, as have other wrestlers in the past, some of whom are married and she wasn’t even aware.
“You guys do realize, like, all your little WWE heroes like want to f—k me. I’m a crazy b-tch and they still want to f—k me.”
She takes a look at some of the messages she received from Instagram that she had tweeted out, before returning to the Instagram app and reading a variety of comments from wrestling fans. Most of these comments spoke about her being ‘fake’ to which she replied that she doesn’t consider that word to be an insult, explaining that she has botox, fake breasts, fake lips and more. She was also called a range of names based on her sexual activity.
“All I can say is wrestling is fake, ya’ll. And that’s OK. Movies are fake. My body is fake but people still enjoy it. There is nothing wrong with it being fake. I’m just on some little rant and ya’ll taking it to the extreme for people that don’t care about you. WWE is all about making money. Do you see any of the wrestlers sitting one-on-one, talking with their followers?”
The YouTuber would ask for more thought to be put into the criticisms she is receiving, some of which were death threats. She would proceed to read some direct messages she received, before reiterating about the fans threatening her when they aren’t sure who the person behind Ziggler’s character is. She went on to say that it is embarrasing to WWE that their fans were doing this.
Paytas would then explain that this isn’t news and she was just expressing her thoughts about a situation that happened to her and it need not be covered. She says she had respect for wrestling as she had previously wrestled before herself. She soon ends the video to stop herself from ranting anymore.

Editor’s Note:
I personally don’t believe her in that many wrestlers have come looking for her, nor do I believe she has done much training, if at all. If she had, she wouldn’t be using the word ‘fake,’ because that isn’t the right term. She did mention she previously dated a wrestler, so I believe that much. As for stereotyping all fans to be illiterate and unable to form proper sentences, that is damn foolish. Everybody is different. How do we know she didn’t solely read comments such as that in order to depict her narrative of wrestling fans being ‘dumb.’ I agree that fans need to realize the person they watch on TV doesn’t equate to who they are outside of the ring, but that is common knowledge. Look at someone like Titus for example. His real personality is vastly different to the one he plays in WWE.
