Former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker has had enough with online criticism. She wants to be left alone.
Since returning from a substantial hiatus, Baker has been receiving a lot of negative feedback from fans online. Especially since her match against Mercedes Moné at All In.
Speaking with US Weekly, Baker had the following to say –
“I’m exhausted,” Baker said. “I’m not going to be polite anymore. Leave me alone. Politeness is 2024. Everyone needs to be real and authentic and the world will be a better place.
You can’t ever believe what you read about yourself, whether it’s really good or really bad, or you’re going to end up medicated and sedated potentially. It’s tough because we live in a world where social media is so prominent.
Social media fuels what we do, essentially. We rely on it. But man, is it toxic. It’s brutal. There’s a whole population of people on social media who just want to make you feel bad about yourself. It’s crazy we live in a world where that’s their mission. ‘I’m going to wake up today, tweet 10 mean tweets to Britt. I’m gonna take a lunch break. And then maybe I’ll do 10 more.’ It’s bizarre.”
Since her match against Moné at All In, which took place in August, Baker has had two matches. Both wins, one against Serena Deeb and the other defeating Penelope Ford.
