Former WWE diva responds to release rumors; Criticizes WWE
Submitted by Brian Cantor on Tuesday, April 26, 2005 at 1:23 PM EST





Former WWE developmental diva Bobbi Billard used her website to respond to a report in the Wrestling-Observer Newsletter regarding her status with the company. The report stated that she had been quietly rehired by the company as a deterrent for a potential lawsuit, but Billard (sort of) shoots down the story.

"Let's set the record straight. I was released in mid April 2004. But after I told my story and got them to finally send me to a "real doctor", they paid for my neck surgery. Thank you for that! That was the least that they could have done for all that I went through. Now hopefully you can see who was telling the truth after all. And much to my surprise, I kept receiving my weekly checks from WWE. You think they were paying me all this time out of the goodness of their hearts? I highly doubt that! And no, I did not quietly get some secret deal with WWE to be on contract so I don't sue them. I have so far refused to sign any of the crap that they have presented me with except for the contract that I got hired with in the first place. They just kept sending checks... and I kept cashing them. So I haven't been released again people. They released me way back in April just like I said."

However, she then continued, "So I thought, cool... they were just going to continue the checks for 3 more months and all would be good. I was appreciative of the fact that they were letting me know in advance. But then they sent me that contract again for me to sign stating that I was signing away my rights to sue them in exchange for the money. And I like how they are dangling that "job" carrot to try to get me to sign that. If they really wanted to give me a job with the company, why is it that they didn't just offer me something a while back."

The rest of the journal update continues her verbal beatdown on WWE.
