Paige participated in a very emotional interview with former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia. Paige opened up on multiple topics about her personal life on the podcast: Chasing Glory With Lilian Garcia. This included her private video and photo leak that made headlines several months ago.
Paige broke down when sharing a moment that she had in public. A random person came up to her and a friend, addressing the leaks:
“That scarred me, just people invading my privacy, to the point where sometimes I don’t want to go out. People are just looking at me bad. I was out yesterday with my friend. We were just sitting there having a Bloody Mary. This guy comes up to my friend and says ‘that’s the ‘porn star'”
Paige also revealed that she contemplated suicide and battled with anorexia after the leaks happened:
“I barricaded myself in the house for a couple of months. I was so sad… to the point like I was contemplating suicide – I was so sad and that’s why I was doing so much stupid stuff. I was like drinking heavily – I wasn’t doing drugs at that point, I did drugs before that you know – but I was just in a really, really really bad place… I was so low, I got so skinny, I ended up collapsing with exhaustion in hospital in England and they told me at the time, it was kind of like stress-induced anorexia… I wasn’t eating, I wasn’t sleeping, I lost all my hair…”

Paige also says that she doesn’t want to be defined by the mistakes that she made and finds it extremely difficult to trust anybody again. She also says that she feels really bad for Xavier Woods, who she says is a good friend of hers.
An emotional podcast and recommended listening.
