'What would you have me do, starve myself?': WWE star Peyton Royce hits back at body-shaming journalist
Australian wrestler Peyton Royce has hit back at a renowned journalist after being criticized for her looks.
Wrestling Observer Newsletter reporter Dave Meltzer, who has one of the most prominent voices in the industry, has been forced into a humbling apology after discussing Royce’s appearance on radio recently. In a radio discussion with co-host Bryan Alvarez, Meltzer suggested Royce — who recently made their debut on 'Smackdown' with her compatriot Billie Kay — looked ‘more attractive’ when she was ‘lighter’ during her stint with WWE's lower-level apprenticeship show 'NXT'.
As the Daily Examiner points out, Meltzer appeared to refer to the 25-year-old Sydney-born wrestler's recent breast enhancement surgery and her weight. “I think Peyton Royce’s transformation to look more attractive … I don’t know, I don’t want to say. But I don’t think that …,” Meltzer began.
