Paige recently spoke with Lilian Garcia for the Chasing Glory podcast, where she gave her full thoughts on the recent Triple H ‘joke.’

“[Radke] so brave, as well, to really deal with, especially recently. And I hate to bring this up about [Triple H], but he’s so brave to deal with the impact that the joke or those videos had on my life and now his and my family, obviously.” Paige continued, “but recently after [Triple H] made that joke, which, I respect Hunter – he [has]always been respectful to me and he has always just been a gentleman, so when he made that joke, it kind of just ignited this thing where it opened the door for all these fans to attack me and take pictures, and screenshots, and videos. And then, all-of-a-sudden, it’s being sent to Ronnie and to my family and stuff like that all over again and it took me a couple of years to really get over it.

Paige also spoke about the support she has received from other WWE Superstars and how much it meant to her.

“Now, actually, [Garcia], Renee [Young], The Bellas, Lita, Nia Jax, yeah, you all openly spoke out about it and that gives me chills. It just makes me feel so… it’s just good to have a support system and to have women in [Garcia’s] position – you’re all very powerful women, businesswomen, entrepreneurs – do you know what I mean? Like, really built your career outside of WWE too to really just join in and have someone’s back, it’s just wonderful that you know you have friends because in this business, it’s really hard to know who your real friends are and you wait for situations like this, like any other situation, to see who your real friends are. And so, like, it made me feel really good. It made me smile, and it made me happy, and it made me not dwell on it so much because I could have been like, ‘I feel bad for myself.’” Paige said, “but I kind of brushed myself back off and said, ‘whatever, this is fine.’”

Triple H did come out on social media in order to publicly apologize to Paige, and she spoke about how it was good of him to do that.

“Oh yeah, it definitely takes someone, a real man or a woman, to admit a mistake that they’ve made,” Paige claimed. “And to publicly go out there, and, obviously, apologize, it takes a lot because sometimes, like, you truly don’t mean to offend someone, obviously, and in today’s age, like, people can get offended a lot.”

Finally, Paige also spoke about the fact she would actually have been fine with the comments Triple H made if it had been behind closed doors between them.

“I don’t mind jokes. Honestly, I really don’t. Like, backstage, I’ll joke all the time. I was like, ‘you can throw these jokes at me.’ I would joke about myself. I don’t care, but if it’s in the media, then it just opens doors to strangers to do it and that’s not okay because then I feel like these people on the internet are bullying me again. Like, ‘here comes the cyberbullying that I just got over too.’” Paige later reiterated, “[Triple H] was just joking. Like, I know it was a throwaway joke. And honestly, I wouldn’t be offended by it if it was just us [with]no cameras around, just backstage with everyone joking around. I would probably find it funny! Like, the joke itself didn’t offend me as much as it just opened doors for people to start attacking me again. And I’m just like, ‘I wanted that door to be closed.’

“It’s time for people to sort of forget about it, but now it just ignited it again. And I was like, ‘and people won’t remember me for the other stuff – they’ll remember me now because of this joke that came out and how these videos came about, and I wish people would just let it go.’ If my family can do, if my partner can do it, I wish strangers would!”
