CJ Perry has disclosed a never-before-told story about her time behind bars. The former WWE superstar appeared on the January 29 episode of Inside the Ring to discuss her past.
She revealed that she was arrested at the age of 25 while driving through Georgia. Perry admitted she was speeding and smoking marijuana behind the wheel while traveling to a school audition. Police pulled her over for going 91 in a 75 zone, and she immediately confessed to the officers.
Her parents decided not to post bail immediately and allowed her to remain in custody for three days. Perry credited this tough love approach with changing her perspective on freedom and gratitude. She noted that seeing other inmates who had been incarcerated for over a year made her appreciate the small things in life.
The experience came full circle when she eventually signed her WWE contract. That career milestone happened exactly three years later on her birthday.
