Cora Jade Says She Was Body Shamed by WWE Bosses and Coworkers

Cora Jade is calling out WWE’s toxic culture following her release—and she’s backing up Gigi Dolin after the former Toxic Attraction member clapped back at rumors about her work ethic.

The drama started after a report surfaced suggesting that some of the recently released NXT talent were let go because they were “lazy” or didn’t stand out. That didn’t sit right with Gigi Dolin, who immediately took to Twitter to clear her name. “When I wasn’t traveling to work for either of the two companies I was working for, I trained very hard 3-4 days a week, bumping my ass off and doing cardio drills with one of the best/toughest coaches I’ve worked with. And worked out every single day. With live events every other weekend. So yeah I don’t wanna hear this lol. The way my body feels says otherwise.”

Dolin, who built a reputation for pushing through intense training schedules and frequent live events, made it crystal clear that being labeled as lazy was far from accurate. Her tweet was a direct response to criticism many believe was aimed at those cut in WWE’s most recent wave of talent releases.

Cora Jade—who was also released during the same round of cuts—quickly chimed in, adding her own experience to the growing list of concerns. In a pointed reply to Dolin’s post, Jade wrote: “This, plus can’t forget having to go to my own gym outside of work after ‘strength and conditioning’ that wasn’t doing anything for me other than get me body shamed by my bosses, coworkers, and fans 🙂 crazy!”

Jade’s tweet highlights what she describes as a damaging environment within WWE, where physical appearance was judged harshly—even when the official training programs fell short. While she didn’t name specific individuals, the reference to being body shamed by “bosses” and “coworkers” adds a serious tone to the conversation.

Both Dolin and Jade were among a larger group of names recently let go by WWE, including Braun Strowman, Shayna Baszler, Katana Chance, Kayden Carter, and Eddy Thorpe. Their willingness to speak out is now sparking a broader conversation about how released talent are portrayed—and what really happens behind the scenes.
