Francesca claims that the pictures of bruises she had posted online were not the only ones. There were others that she preferred not to share on social media.
Francesca captioned here picture as follows:
“To the promotions, wrestlers and fans staying silent. I hear you. To the abusers tweeting their support. I see you.”
“I was also told to reach out to my abuser as the whole thing might just be a ‘misunderstanding’ ??????? Promoters…..educate yourself. Don’t gaslight your fans or talent.”
Jordan Devlin isn’t the only wrestler to be accused of abuse
She claims that people have advised to go and talk it out with Devlin. They explain how it may have been a misunderstanding. However, the bruises on her body seem like there was no misunderstanding at all.
She also claims that many refuse to voice their opinions on the issue. There may be many people who keep silent to preserve their identity and not escalate things.
