Rhea Ripley has spoken out about the recent online attention that she has received due to her significant weight loss. Fans have been coming up with different reasons and rumors for weeks. But Ripley finally made it clear that many of the assumptions were wrong.
Ripley has pointed out before that she has been criticized for being “too muscular,” and now she is getting criticized for being “too skinny.” After her comment, many fans and wrestling professionals have shown their support.
Rhea Ripley admits her struggle with an eating disorder
Recently, fitness influencer and coach M.K. Angeletti shared a video on his Instagram page (@_revivalfitness) where he discussed Rhea Ripley’s weight loss and compared her older, more muscular look to her current, leaner one.
Some social media posts claim that the WWE star slimmed down after she started suffering back pain due to her muscle mass. Some posts even question whether Ripley’s “aura” is gone and whether her change in physique has impacted her presence as a wrestler. Some questioned if she had changed her training.
Angeletti addressed all those posts debunking some fitness myths and defending Ripley’s current physique by saying she still has retained her muscle mass. All she lost was just fat.
But the more important thing here is that Ripley has responded directly in the comments. She revealed that she has been dealing with an eating disorder and is trying to manage it.
“Just a little eating disorder that I’m actively trying to handle ✌?,” Ripley commented.
Her comment made it all clear that it is less about the looks and more about her health.
Before this, there were rumors that she lost weight due to back pain or a change in her workout routine. Some posts even claimed she spoke about it in an interview. But Ripley shut that down, too.
