Rhea Ripley Calls Out Double Standards Over Her Thirst Traps

Rhea Ripley’s definitely one of the biggest names in WWE and she’s proud of the work she put into her body. She tends to post thirst traps on social media but has gotten backlash for the same and now Ripley has defended posting her thirst traps.

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Rhea Ripley was asked if she realizes how much she breaks the internet when she posts certain photos on Instagram. She admitted that sometimes she does it on purpose because she’s petty.

Ripley even mentioned posting a photo before SummerSlam a couple of years ago just because she wasn’t on the show, figuring she would trend one way or another and it worked.

“Oh yeah, sometimes I do it because I’m petty. I’m like the biggest petty person you can think of. I dropped one before SummerSlam a couple of years ago because I wasn’t on the show. So I was like, ‘Bet, I’m gonna trend one way or the other.’ Yeah, it worked. I’m just petty. I’m a petty mess.”

The Eradicator explained that she’s just feeling confident and embracing herself. After all the hard work she’s put in, she believes it’s okay to show it off now and then. She pointed out that lots of people flaunt what they have, so she should be able to do the same. She didn’t understand why people get upset over her posting pictures of herself in pajamas, just because it happens to be bras and underwear.

Ripley also said that if her husband can post shirtless photos, she should be allowed to do something similar. Even if she wears something, she believes she has every right to express herself the same way.

“I’m just feeling myself, you know? I gotta remember that I work hard for what I have, and sometimes it’s okay to flaunt it. Other people flaunt it—why can’t I? It’s not like I’m taking a naked photo and posting it on Twitter. I don’t understand why people get so upset over me taking photos of myself in my pajamas just because it’s bras and undies, you know?

If my husband can go out and post a photo with his shirt off, I should be able to do the same thing. Well, I’ll wear something, but I should be able to do that too.”

Rhea Ripley is not only strong in the ring but she’s also showing others how to be confident in their bodies and express themselves freely. She’s absolutely unapologetic about posting her thirst traps on social media since it’s her own body and she can do whatever she wants with it, so fans should simply respect her freedom no matter what.
