It’s been a while since fans have seen Lana on WWE programming as she was released from the company last year and she has yet to return to the world of professional wrestling. However, Lana, under her real name CJ Perry, is still quite active on social media.
Recently a Twitter user posted a tweet about dealing with the struggles that come with being homeless, and CJ Perry responded with the following: “you have a device to tweet from”

The tweet did not go over well, but CJ Perry followed up by explaining that she has great empathy for people who are homeless as she was once homeless herself, and during that time period she was grateful that she had a device to tweet from.
“Let me clear something up about something going around about a tweet. Most people don’t know that I was homeless 2 different times chasing big dreams. I have plenty of empathy for the homeless because I was homeless. But I was grateful because I had a phone to tweet from.”

She then went on to say that remembering the period of her life when she was homeless was re-triggering trauma in her brain.
“It’s insane talking about being homeless and now starting to remember all the places I slept that I blocked out of my memory. We truly do block trauma out of our memories and brain. I can thank many ppl on Twitter from re triggering my trauma of being homeless.”

CJ Perry continued to comment on the situation when she issued an apology stating that she never meant to offend anyone.
“If I offended you I apologize. That was never my intentions.”
