WWE Name Opens Up Facing Social Media Negativity Cathy Kelley
A WWE personality recently discussed the challenges of dealing with negativity on social media and shared insights into how they’ve grown resilient in the face of both praise and criticism.
In October 2022, Cathy Kelley marked her return to WWE after transitioning to a new role within the broadcast teams, relocating from Raw to SmackDown.
As is often the case for public figures, Cathy has not been immune to online negativity from anonymous social media users. In a candid interview on Busted Open Radio.
She said:
“I think at first it really got to me, and it was something that — someone called me dumb for having an opinion that was different than theirs. It was a really tough pill for me to swallow. Or if someone’s attacking your looks.”
“I mean, there’s so many things that you can read online about yourself. Some being true, some not, and I think some years ago it affected me a lot more. And now, even though it’s a lot more positive, I think even if you take in the good, you do take in some of the bad.”
she reflected on the evolution of her self-worth since her initial stint with the company. Cathy revealed that she has developed a stronger sense of self-value, allowing her to navigate and process negative comments with greater resilience in comparison to her earlier experiences.
