Saraya-Jade Bevis once ruled the ring. But in 2017, her world came crashing down. A leaked s** tape turned her life into a nightmare. “I didn’t really want to be alive anymore,” she alluded. She was just 19 when it happened. One moment, she was a rising WWE star. The next, her most private moments were all over the internet. “The person that I was with at the time showed me a picture on Twitter,” she recalled per Unilad.

“I was just like, ‘Oh my God.’ I was like, ‘Is that real?’” It was. And there was no escaping it. Bevis panicked. She bolted out of the house and kept running, literally. She hid in a bush, terrified that someone would recognize her. At the time, she was already battling addiction. Cocaine, alcohol, and now, public humiliation. “That really f**king got me to rock bottom where I didn’t really want to be alive anymore, dude,” she said.

Saraya-Jade Bevis’ family was her lifeline. The thought of disappointing her dad haunted her. “I remember being like, ‘If my dad is disappointed with me, I don’t think I could be here anymore.’” The WWE star called him, sobbing, telling him she was sorry. But his response changed everything. “You had s**. Everyone’s done it. Unfortunately, you’re just in the public eye. It is what it is. You’ve got to suck it up.”
