Rhea Ripley – one of WWE‘s leading figures – recently shared an experience that was disconcerting. A fan had visited her at home. The incident highlights the privacy issues and dangers wrestlers, celebrities and others face. The incident that occurred Valentine’s Day serves as a reminder to wrestlers and celebrities about the dangers of fan intrusion.
WWE Superstars often have a complicated relationship with their fans, just like other public figures. They are grateful for the fan support but must deal with situations where it turns into unwanted behavior. This can range from uninvited fan mail to stalking. Ripley had previously addressed this issue on Twitter/X, explicitly requesting fans to refrain from sending mail to her residence, emphasizing the importance of respecting her personal space: “Shouldn’t have to say this… Do not ever send fan mail to my house. This is either by post or self-delivered! It is absolutely not okay.”
In a YouTube video, Logan Paul recounted the disturbing event. Ripley said that the female fan lingered at her door for 15 minutes, smiling and staring into her security cameras. Ripley explained the disturbing scene, “Yeah so I watched on The Ring [home security system] Someone was standing at my door on Valentine’s Day. I was watching. This chick was there for like probably 15 minutes just like smiling into my camera like the movie Smile, and I was like, ‘Oh no.'”
Ripley married Matthew Adams (also known as Buddy Matthews), a fellow wrestler. The couple announced their relationship publicly in 2022. Their engagement was made public in 2023. And they were married in June of 2024. Matthews achieved fame as Buddy Murphy, the former NXT Tag Team champion and Cruiserweight Champ during his time in WWE. Currently, he’s a major figure in All Elite Wrestling.
