Paige is certainly no stranger to negative attention on social media, and recently she was put back in the spotlight after Triple H made a joke about her potentially having kids she doesn’t know about.
Triple H found himself on the receiving end of some negative backlash after making the joke, and eventually he issued an official apology.
Paige recently appeared on Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia that she thought it was big of Triple H to apologize.
“Oh yeah, it definitely takes someone, a real man or a woman, to admit a mistake that they’ve made. And to publicly go out there, and, obviously, apologize, it takes a lot because sometimes, like, you truly don’t mean to offend someone, obviously, and in today’s age, like, people can get offended a lot.”
She went on to explain that she doesn’t mind jokes, and it probably wouldn’t have been a big deal if it was made in private, but she faced a lot of backlash because Triple H made the joke in the media.
“I don’t mind jokes. Honestly, I really don’t. Like, backstage, I’ll joke all the time. I was like, ‘you can throw these jokes at me.’ I would joke about myself. I don’t care, but if it’s in the media, then it just opens doors to strangers to do it and that’s not okay because then I feel like these people on the internet are bullying me again. Like, ‘here comes the cyberbullying that I just got over too.’ [Triple H] was just joking. Like, I know it was a throwaway joke. And honestly, I wouldn’t be offended by it if it was just us [with] no cameras around, just backstage with everyone joking around. I would probably find it funny! Like, the joke itself didn’t offend me as much as it just opened doors for people to start attacking me again. And I’m just like, ‘I wanted that door to be closed.'”
