Raw star reflects on criticism, travel struggles, and stepping away from X
Summary
– Maxxine Dupri discussed dealing with online criticism and social media hate
– She revealed stepping away from X to protect her mental health
– Dupri highlighted challenges of travel and time away from home as a WWE star
Maxxine Dupri recently spoke openly about the challenges she faces as a WWE performer navigating the spotlight.
During an appearance on the Impaulsive podcast, Dupri explained that life as a wrestler comes with several difficulties. Learning the craft and performing in front of a global audience can be demanding, but she considers that part of the job she willingly accepted.
Travel and long stretches away from home remain one of the toughest aspects for her. The WWE schedule often keeps performers on the road for extended periods, which can take a mental toll.
Online criticism has also been difficult for Dupri at times. She admitted that seeing negative comments can affect her, which led to a personal decision to step away from X entirely.
Dupri explained that limiting her exposure to that platform helps her avoid the constant stream of criticism that can come with being a public figure. She continues to use Instagram and TikTok, which offer a more positive environment.
The Raw star added that many criticisms directed toward her are thoughts she has already considered about herself. She believes that harsh comments from others often stem from their own insecurities.
Dupri has made significant progress inside the ring over the past year. A rivalry with Becky Lynch became a major moment in her career and helped establish her credibility as a competitor.
That feud led to the first championship victory of her WWE run when she defeated Lynch in November 2025 to capture the Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The title reign lasted nearly 50 days.
Veteran WWE star Natalya also played an important role in Dupri’s development. Their alliance later collapsed when Natalya turned heel, leading to a rivalry that added another chapter to Dupri’s rise on Raw.
