Former WWE Superstar Melina Perez recently spoke to Huffington Post about several wrestling topics. Perez commented on her time in WWE and how it affected her personal life. Here are some highlights from the interview:

Her time working in WWE:

“I talk to people now, and they thought I was so confident,” Melina expressed. “I was doing all this awesome stuff onstage, and they didn’t realize I was going through so much loneliness and hurt backstage. It was like high school.”

Her on-screen character affecting her personal life:

“I’m proud of that character, then and now, because it was just a character – and she was great at being a bitch – but when it came to my personal life, it felt like everyone around me thought that’s who I was,” Perez said. “I just felt so invisible.”

“At the time, it felt like, ‘What did I do [in wrestling]?’ – especially since it felt like the whole world hated me. I was this big villain [on TV],” she shared. “I’m such a tender-hearted person, it all did effect me.
