Lillian Garcia Announces Her Depature From WWE to Take Care of Her Ailing Father

It was rumored a few months ago that Lillian Garcia was released or would be taking time off to tend to a serious family issue. Her father’s health is said to be in very delicate condition, so she’s trying to get her time.

At the time, Garcia only needed a little time off from WWE to tend to her father and she has been back ever since. Unfortunately, it looks like Lillian is going to need a lot more time off.

According to a report from FOX Sports, Lillian Garcia will be leaving WWE immediately to continue to tend to her father’s health during this difficult time.

Lillian posted the following statement on Instagram to thank WWE, the WWE Universe, and let all of us know why she is leaving the company. You can read the full statement below:

“I’ve been getting a lot of tweets and messages asking where I have been and if I’m coming back to WWE, so I wanted to let you know what has been going on and why I have been silent. I’ve been through so many emotions lately that they literally have kept me up at night. As most of you know, my father has been battling with two different types of cancer. He hasn’t been doing as well as we hoped, THEREFORE, I will not be traveling weekly with WWE any longer. I will be looking to take on work closer to where I live so that I don’t have to be on the road weekly away from him. He truly needs me, and I need this time with him. I ask that you please continue prayers for my father and my family.

It has been a magical 15-year career at WWE, and WWE Universe, I can’t thank you enough for all your love and support! I felt you every step of the way! I also want to thank the amazing WWE Superstars, whom many of them have become my friends! You are an incredible group of people with SO much talent! It has been such an honor to introduce you to the ring and watch your superior athleticism week after week. Thank you to the crew & production staff on the road and in the offices. I’ve seen you work so hard! You really are the glue that keeps it all together!”
