Saraya discusses her photo leaks and battles with addiction | The Sessions with Renee Paquette

[@emc4k270]

Total Divas was the worst thing to happen to her. Producers just shoving drama and alcohol in her face for ratings. Someone so young along with fame and money it was a recipe for disaster.

[@bknight786]

It’s ultimately a decision that you make to consume alcohol or drugs. I grew up on the “just say no” ads, I was taught at an early age to know right from wrong. Regardless of her being young, she’s not a victim. She went through tough times, had a great career and good on her for bouncing back, but let’s stop with the “woke” bullshit

[@jonharrison9222]

Addictions are tough, and real demons. Good on ya Saraya for still being here and also having self reflection to learn from things. People need to keep in mind just how young Paige was when dealing with all this, makes it even more difficult.

[@patrickevans9604]

I'm happy that we get to see this happy outgoing side of her again. Addiction is something that can literally kill the soul and make a person not want to live anymore. As someone who has a good bit of time in being sober as well, I can understand the struggle and appreciate your insights into the difference between then and now. I'm not famous so no clue on how that can affect recovery, but mad respect for this woman and it made me so happy to see the career resurgence. Wishing all the best to you and yours. Just remember to keep it one day at a time.

As someone who's no stranger to substance abuse, I understand what kind of damage it inflicts not just on the mind, but the soul. I also feel like those struggles can teach us valuable lessons, if we let them. When I finally got clean, I felt my mind, heart, and soul all start to heal. I was appreciating things I had taken for granted. I'm really glad that Saraya managed to beat her demons, and I wish nothing but clear skies for her.

[@ebogar42]

What happened to Saraya was disgusting and really awful. I do hope people heed her words about "I'm never doing anything like that again". It's not the victim's fault the videos and pictures were leaked, but that doesn't mean that there's nothing that can be done to prevent something like that from happening. Your digital footprint is never 100% safe, whether it's someone intentionally leaking it or someone hacking into your cloud backup, be safe and say No if someone wants to record you having sex. Again, I am in no way blaming the victim, this shouldn't happen, but it does and it can happen to anyone.

I will never forget the day Paige's photos and videos leaked. I was actually out with a friend when my cousin texted me about them with urgency saying he wanted to show them to me, and I remember saying I honestly wasn't interested because I was aware of what she was going through at the time and I felt bad for her. If I remember correctly, Paige had just had her neck injury and it didn't seem like she was going to wrestle again. My cousin got mad at me over it but it just felt very wrong. I mean, seeing anyone's private photos leak is always wrong to some degree, but in Paige's case and with me being a fan of hers, I really had no interest at the time. I ended up stumbling across the photos a couple years later on twitter🤷🏾‍♂️.

The whole sex tape thing was confusing cause 3 people were involved but it seemed as if woods was the only one that didn't get any backlash. Now he might have gotten less air time than he had previously and maybe behind the scenes he was punished but in the public eye it just seemed he was untouched. Which if Saraya was the victim of being exploited than woods should have been responsible for his part in it. Now I'm not suggesting that she was forced to do anything she didn't want to do by the two men or that they should have been charged with a crime, but without knowing where she was at mentally or how much of her judgement was impeded by drugs or alcohol even if she was ok with them filming she never would have chosen for that tape to ever come out publicly. I didn't find the tape to be arousing in anyway it just made me feel bad for her and make me feel that maybe woods isn't the great guy behind the scenes that he likes to portray himself as. In fact in retrospect woods career has gotten bigger in everyway since the incident. I don't look at woods the same way anymore but maybe that's just me.

2 things to make Saraya happier about this situation i hope 1. Theres not one cell in your body right now that was there 7 years ago so we technically grow a new body every 7 years, so technically its not the current Saraya in those leaks. 2. The new 9/11s will be cyber attacks and so whole countries will get leaked at some point. The top thing they would do would be swapping data in industrial factories messing up resource orders and programming which could be dangerous but leaking a whole society of phones will cause as much mayhem, so fortunately/unfortunately, you will have many other people in the same boat.
