Ex-WWE Star Deonna Purrazzo Hits At ‘Fat Shaming’ Trolls With New Bikini Pic
She loves herself in totality!
Deonna Purrazzo was recently subjected to abuse when she posted a selfie on Twitter. The image was sultry and featured the Impact Wrestling star walking up the stairs, wearing a revealing black outfit.
It instantly prompted one Twitter user to tweet: “Deonna is getting really fat.”
In 2021, the former two-time impact Knockouts champion had also been attacked on Instagram.
In response to a bikini beach photo, the user wrote: “You are such a beautiful woman; however, you need to take pounds off around your stomach and hips.” Hitting back, Deonna, who had held the Ring of Honor Women’s championship, wrote: “You need to go f**k yourself.”
In response to the Twitter user [mentioned above], the 27-Year-Old tweeted a photo of herself in a grey bikini, with the caption: “Yeah. She’s soooooooooo fat,” along with an eye-rolling emoji.
Her hit back has since prompted support as British Wrestler Zoe Lucas wrote: “This guys a d**k, you are beautiful.” TV host and wrestling interviewer Denise Salcedo also tweeted: “I am sorry but people are ridiculous. Whoever say this about you would be jumping for joy if you even looked their way. You are gorgeous and you inspire lots of people – including myself.”
Deonna, known for the nickname Virtuosa has remained a mainstay of Impact Wrestling since rejoining the company in 2020.
In July of the same year, she had initially won the Knockouts title, holding it for 98 days. And just as she lost it in October, Deonna regained it a month later and held it for 343 days. Her two title reigns place her second on the all-time combined reigns list, around 270 days behind the legendary Gail Kim with seven reigns. The star did spend six years in WWE, appearing mainly on the NXT brand.
