WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley has lashed out at Amanda for āslut-shamingā Sara Lee on the finale episode of WWE Tough Enough on Tuesday evening.
Below is what āwhat he posted on Facebook:
THE NIGHT MICK GOT MAD
Yes, I kind of lost it for a few minutes while watching the season finale of WWE Tough Enough. Although I hadnāt commented publicly on the show since the ouster of Patrick Clark seven weeks ago, Iād been watching with my younger kids (who claim itās ābest show ever, in the history of TV) and have actually enjoyed the shows the past few weeks ā when the emphasis was put on wrestling, instead of random āchallengesā. I hadnāt planned on commenting on the show, voting, or telling anyone who to vote for.
Then I heard it ā Amanda publicly āexposingā rumors of Sara Leeās sex life, in an an attempt to sway voters against her. My immediate thought: she just slut-shamed Sara Lee on national televisionā ā and it struck me as a hateful, petty, vindictive thing to do. Alas, for Amanda, the tactic seemed to backfire, and the bikini model from Yorktown Heights lost in a nearly 2-1 landslide, despite having advantages in almost every category that would seem to matter ā beauty, body, athleticism, a save from The Miz, and her self-professed āitā factor.
So I broke my silence, sent out a tweet about how I felt about the situation, and could not have been happier with the outcome of the show. Someone pointed out to me that, in fairness to Amanda, that āapparently there was evidence, Mickā. To which I replied āI donāt give a crap if there was āevidenceā ā it was mean-girl bullying, and the antithesis of showing tolerance and respect.ā
Thereās a chance ā probably a good chance ā that WWE will hire Amanda to a developmental contract. If they do, I suggest they give her a little talk about sexual bullying, or āslut-shamingā ā described by the Urban Dictionary as āan unfortunate phenomenon in which people degrade or mock a woman because she enjoys having sex, has sex a lot, or may even just be rumored to participate in sexual activity.ā I wish one of the judges, coaches or other participants would have publicly acknowledged Amandaās accusation. They didnāt. So I have.
Whatās the big deal? Simple. Slut-shaming affects lives. It destroys lives. Sometimes, when the burden of public shaming becomes too much to bear, it can even end them.
Iāve put my time and money behind what I believe, which is the reason Iām proud to be part of the upcoming āUnSlut: A Documentary Filmā. Please watch and share the trailer. You might just make the world a little better place for all mankind. Just turn down the volume if youāre watching at workā¦.that āSā word come flying out at you a few times. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXvh9c79gqg
