Alexa Bliss has worked hard to establish herself as one of the top stars in the WWE women’s division, but it’s no big secret that she’s dealt with her fair share of ups and downs throughout her life.
While talking about her struggles with weight on What’s Your Story? with Stephanie McMahon, Alexa Bliss revealed that she was harassed by a boy who called her thunder thighs when she was 16.
“Yes, I was called thunder thighs. That’s such a silly comment for a teenage boy to make. I was already kind of paranoid of my legs. I was a gymnast. I had the muscular- I had great legs. Looking back on them, I was like, dang, I had great legs. It really got to me for some reason.”
Alexa Bliss went on to say that the comments caused her to develop an eating disorder, and she made a habit of looking at her thighs in the bathroom mirror everyday.
“Every day I would stand on my bathroom tub because there was a mirror and I would look to see if my thighs touched, if my feet were together. Every single day. And if they didn’t, it was a good day. I’m really lucky I didn’t die. I remember my mom’s crying to me and she was just like, ‘Please eat. Like you’re gonna die.’”
Luckily Alexa Bliss seems to be in a good place at the moment as she’s happily married and welcomed her daughter into the world back in November of 2023. It was confirmed on SmackDown last week that Bliss will be teaming with Charlotte Flair, Stephanie Vaquer, Tatum Paxley, and Bayley to face Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, Lainey Reid, Jade Cargill, and Michin in a WarGames match at Survivor Series later this month.
Alexa Bliss also recently opened up about a major health scare she went through a few years ago and you can get more details on that here.
