Lilian Garcia On The Advice She Gave Paige Following Sex Tape Leak, WWE Stars Opening Up On Her Podcast

Former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia recently spoke with TV Insider and below are some interview highlights.

On WWE stars such as Paige and Mickie James opening up to her on her podcast:

“It really does show people can go through adversity, and some of them have gone into way more adversity than I even knew,” she said. “When Mickie James came on and talked about how she was molested for eight years, I had no idea. And Paige telling her story. That was something that nobody knew.

“…To know she was able to come from wanting to commit suicide to come out of it and shine like she has is so empowering. That is why it has been such a gift to be able to do this. It has been such a joy that they’ve felt so comfortable to open up and share the way they have. The fans get to see these are real people with real problem and conquer them.”

On the advice she gave Paige after a turbulent year while out with injury:

“I told her, ‘Look, there are things out there. You’re saying some things. WWE is saying another thing. Just be honest. Own up. If you’ve made some mistakes, own up,” she recalled. “That’s exactly what she did. She took my advice, and it was really powerful.”
