Rhea Ripley Says She Is Battling an Eating Disorder Ahead of WrestleMania

Her comments seek to counter rumor-driven scrutiny by explaining the stress behind her weight change.

Overview

  • The WWE star disclosed the issue in a reply to a fitness influencer’s video that questioned her weight loss, and the post was later removed.
  • On the Pod Meets World podcast, she said the disorder grew from stress and a loss of control and that she first kept it private.
  • She rejected steroid claims by noting WWE testing and said a reported interview about back pain causing weight loss was fabricated.
  • Ripley described a constant stream of online remarks about her body and work and said she relies on a tight support circle at home.
  • She remains scheduled to challenge Jade Cargill for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 42 this weekend.
