After issuing a blunt Twitter response to criticism of WWE’s “Piggy James” storyline, Diva Mickie James was quick to clarify that she was not specifically ripping on her company or the angle.<\/p>\n
Responding to a Tweet, “I’m really offended right now with the WWE making jokes about your [weight]…I really worry about girls who watch wrestling, see this kind of thing, and fall victim to hating their bodies,” the Diva wrote, “I agree. I think the example being set is pathetic. Giving the youth a warped perception of beauty; after all…one has to love themselves first. Society makes that hard…I love myself and my body. 130 is hardly fat.”<\/p>\n
When a story broke quoting Mickie James as saying WWE’s handling of the storyline is “pathetic,” James responded, “I never said WWE…if anyone read it, I said society.”<\/p>\n
While it is true that Mickie did not specifically mention the WWE storyline in her response, one cannot fault those who assumed her response was WWE-centric: the Tweet to which she responded was purely related to the company’s ongoing mockery of her weight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
