Mandy Rose Comments on Her Recent Release from WWE

As noted before, WWE released Mandy Rose this past December over issues related to adult themed content she had been posting on her FanTime account. Following her release from the company, Rose made $1 million in the month of December from subscriptions fees to her FanTime account.

A recent episode of the Tamron Hall Show had Mandy Rose, real name Amanda Saccomanno, as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Rose revealing that she was never told by WWE officials that her loss of the NXT Women’s Championship was directly due to WWE’s issues with her FanTime account.

Rose also stated that there are certain things she can not openly discuss about her release due to a confidentially clause in her release.

On the topic of if she was warned beforehand about the content she was posting to her FanTime account, Rose stated:

“Unfortunately, there is a confidentiality and I can’t really discuss that. There was the one warning to take it down, and I complied.”

Rose also stated that the content she was posting to her account did not include full nudity.

“There was no full nudity. I would never post anything that would harm my brand.”

On the type of content being posted onto her account, Rose stated:

“Everything that I do, in the privacy of my own home, showing my fans behind the scenes action, whether it’s photo shoots, my every day personal life, nothing is wrong with that. That’s what I was doing. You can’t believe everything you see on the internet, not everything is accurate. When I show photos me, sexy, like how I’ve been showing on my Instagram, which everyone can see, there is nothing wrong with that.”

On the topic if there is a double standard in WWE when it comes to their rules for female talent compared to their marketing of her Toxic Attraction group, Rose stated:

“I don’t have any control on how they run their business and what they think is right or wrong, that’s their opinion.”

Rose also gave her thoughts on if she had been specially targeted by WWE, who had previously promoted sexy photos Rose had been posting on her social media accounts.

“I don’t really know, I don’t think I was targeted, I think it was just more, everyone has their own opinion. I don’t see anything wrong with that photo [Rose wearing the NXT Women’s and NXT UK Women’s Titles and nothing else], as they didn’t either. Everyone has their own opinion on what they think is appropriate and what’s not.”

Rose also gave her thoughts on if she had felt wronged by WWE’s actions against her.

“Because of everything that has happened since then, everything happens for a reason, and I can’t even say I was wronged because I’m so forever grateful for everything that the WWE has presented me with. I can’t say I was wronged or not. I’m hurt. I’m very hurt. No one wants to get that call that you’re being fired from any job. I was very hurt and very disappointed. I was disappointed more because of everything I put into the business, but just the last year and a half; I was champion for 413 days, I unified the two titles, I was the third longest-reigning NXT Women’s Champion. I also created this must-see faction with two other women that I brought up. I got to see so many women develop their characters and they are younger than me and at the beginning of their careers. To me, that was so important because it was so rewarding for me. Losing the title was obviously a gut punch. I was so disappointed. At the end of the day, my purpose was gone. That’s where I felt lost and confused because of all the hard work. Driving home from that, a lot of things were going through my mind. You always think there are unanswered questions. At the end of the day, I love what I’ve done in WWE and I love the platform they presented me with. I am forever grateful for them.”

On the topic of a potential return to WWE in the future, Rose stated “never say never” but there would need to be talks if they demanded for her FanTime account to be dropped.
