Saraya Says Private Video Leak Scandal Nearly Ended Her Life

Saraya is speaking out about one of the darkest chapters of her life—and she’s not holding anything back.

In a raw and emotional interview with The Guardian, the former AEW star opened up about how her infamous sex tape leak pushed her to the brink. What the public saw as salacious gossip was, for her, a deeply traumatic violation that nearly ended everything.

“I wanted to kill myself,” Saraya admitted. “I didn’t want to be around anymore. It was like the straw that broke the camel’s back. I felt as if there was no way I could recover from this – my career, my friendships, my family. I felt that everything was done.”

She recalled the exact moment she saw the footage hit the internet—how she instantly vomited from the shock before running aimlessly through the streets of Texas, completely lost. For Saraya, it felt like the final blow in a life already filled with battles, including addiction and mental health struggles.

Now, years later, Saraya is still standing. Her recent departure from AEW marked the end of another chapter, and instead of spiraling, she’s focused on healing and rebuilding. While the internet tried to tear her down, Saraya’s resilience proved louder than the hate.

Her story isn’t just about a leaked video—it’s about the strength to fight through shame, trauma, and public humiliation. It’s about reclaiming your narrative when the world tries to rewrite it for you.
