Rhea Ripley is dealing with another scary privacy issue, and this time it involved her personal phone number.
While speaking during a livestream, Ripley explained that being famous can feel frightening when fans cross personal boundaries. She brought up people showing up at her house and also revealed that someone recently contacted her on her actual mobile phone:
“Yeah, it’s scary all the time—especially when they walk up to your f**ing house and text you on your actual mobile phone.”
The WWE Women’s Champion then revealed that a person somehow found her personal phone number and messaged her because they wanted to meet after failing to get tickets for Friday Night SmackDown:
“Someone found my number and they texted me the other day, wanting me to see them because they couldn’t buy tickets to SmackDown. Like, there’s no privacy anywhere.”
This comes after Ripley previously revealed that a woman had shown up at her house last year and repeatedly rang her doorbell. Ripley said the woman stood there for several minutes, left, came back, and somehow got inside her gated community, which made the whole situation even more frightening.
Ripley has always been open with fans, but her latest comments show how quickly admiration can cross into something dangerous. Showing up at a wrestler’s house or tracking down their personal number is not fan support — it is a serious invasion of privacy. Ripley may be one of WWE’s biggest stars, but she is still entitled to feel safe away from the ring. Hopefully, fans understand that access to performers ends when their personal lives begin.
