WWE superstar Paige went bald and considered suicide after a leaked sex tape and drug ban made her life almost unbearable.
The English star has just returned from a controversial year away from the WWE after failing a drug test following a career-threatening neck injury.
During her time away, she was one of a handful of WWE stars who had intimate pictures or videos leaked online following a suspected hacking attack.
The 25-year-old suffered stress-induced anorexia and alopecia after, in her own words, hitting rock bottom.
Paige told the Lilian Garcia podcast: “That scarred me, just people invading my privacy, to the point where sometimes I don’t want to go out. People are just looking at me bad. I was out [last week] with my friend. We were just sitting there having a Bloody Mary. This guy comes up to my friend and says, ‘That’s the porn star.’
“I cried in the toilet. I find it really hard to be close to anybody. And that’s the reason why. When they came out, I barricaded myself in the house for a couple of months.
“I was so sad to the point I was contemplating suicide. I was on the floor, I was so low. I got so skinny, I ended up collapsing with exhaustion in hospital in England. They told me at the time it was like stress-induced anorexia.”
