Saraya just shared a hilarious—and surprisingly honest—moment from her past by posting a private message exchange with her mom, confirming that she really did steal her thongs as a kid to cosplay as Lita.
After telling the story on her Rule Breakers podcast about copying Lita’s signature low-rise jeans and exposed thong look, Saraya took it a step further by posting a WhatsApp chat with her mom, Saraya Knight, on Instagram Stories. In the message, she asked:
“Remember when I would steal your thongs hahaha”
Her mom wasted no time confirming it—and exposed even more teenage rebellion:
“God yes 😂🤣 the stages of a teenager, smoked my gear, nicked my gs 😂🤣”
Saraya reacted the same way most people would:
“Ahahahahahahahaha. I’m dead.”
She also added a note for her American followers:
“Gear for my American friends mean weed haha @sarayaknight1910 😂 love you!!”
The original podcast clip had Saraya explaining that she idolized Lita so much, she went all in on mimicking her style—even if it meant raiding her mom’s underwear drawer:
“I wanted to be Lita so bad. It was like a costume. I was this child running around with thongs very high.”
Now that she’s dropped the receipts, it’s safe to say this wasn’t just podcast banter. It’s a real snapshot of growing up as a wrestling-obsessed kid—and a rare glimpse at Saraya’s relationship with her mom behind the scenes.
