Deonna Purrazzo says a man who believed they were in a relationship traveled across state lines twice to find her. The AEW star detailed the incident on Twitter while responding to a post from Jordynne Grace about fan safety.
Fans crossing the line with wrestlers has been a recurring problem, and talent have repeatedly asked for more protection. Purrazzo’s account is the latest example.
Last August, a man drove 2 hrs from CT to meet me at WrestleCon, thinking we were in a relationship. I had let him down gently that he had been catfished. The next day, he drove back to CT to watch me wrestle at a local show.
I called the Orlando Police to file a report when I got home bc I wanted it documented this man already traveled across state lines TWICE to see me. They told me since the incident didn’t happen in FL, they couldn’t file a report.
The story comes only days after Rhea Ripley revealed a major invasion of privacy from a fan who had somehow found her private phone number and started texting her.
