Saraya is once again calling out inappropriate fan behavior—this time, after being groped at a recent event in Chicago.
While speaking on the Rulebreakers podcast, the former AEW star revealed a disturbing incident where she dealt with physical harassment from a fan. According to Saraya, a fan at a recent signing in Chicago crossed the line—again. Worse, Saraya said that security didn’t immediately react.
“Just this past weekend in Chicago, a fan decided he wanted to slap my ass three times in a row because he thought it was funny.”
“And the security didn’t do a f****** thing. They ended up coming up to me afterwards and were like, ‘Do you want us to escort him out?’ or whatever the case is, but it was already nearly done, you know? It was just like—it’s too late in the day.”
She did eventually get a dedicated security guard for the rest of the event, but the damage was done.
“They did give me a security guard in the end, and he was great, which is fine. But the fans are getting way too comfortable.”
This isn’t the first time Saraya has had to deal with this kind of harassment. Earlier this year, she shared the story of another fan who tried to forcefully kiss her at a signing—only for the convention to let the man remain in the building. Now, with this second violation in the same year, she says enough is enough.
“This is the second time this year that a fan has touched me, tried to kiss me, and tried to slap my ass. It’s just way too comfortable.”
Saraya’s words aren’t just venting—they’re a warning. For wrestling events and fan conventions to feel safe and welcoming for all talent, boundaries need to be respected, and security needs to act fast when they’re crossed.
