(1/9) Legal action has been threatened against me for #SpeakingOut about my experience, please help me defend myself: gf.me/u/yxmqqk
(2/9) The legal action threatened against me is to try to force me to delete my tweets, pretend I got things wrong, never speak about my experience again, defend the person I spoke out against and pin it to my pages with replies off.
(3/9) If I do not comply, the person is also threatening to sue me for damages.
(4/9) In order to defend myself I had to get a solicitor. The multiple, lengthy legal letters I have no choice but to respond to have cost me £10,000 and increasing which I have had to borrow money to pay for.
(5/9) I first received a letter and it made me physically sick. I'm 22 and have no legal experience. I had to beg those around me for help because I had no idea what to do and then finding out the costs, I felt hopeless. I have never had access to that kind of money in my life.
(6/9) I lost my office job before the pandemic, and cannot wrestle currently. As of right now, I have no income. What little money I’ve scraped together from savings, odd jobs and merch has been accounted for.
(7/9) This has affected my mental health. I don’t sleep anymore, I feel physically sick all the time, trying to move forward feels impossible some days. I have tried to keep a brave face and thrown myself into Twitch as a distraction but I am really struggling now.
(8/9) Any share or donation would be greatly appreciated, no matter how big or small it will make the world of difference to me. I should not be banned from sharing what I went through, I want to make wrestling a safer place not just for myself but for those joining.
(9/9) Please help me gf.me/u/yxmqqk Thank you.
