Carmella: ‘People Rallied Behind Me And Then Hated On Me’

Carmella sat down with CBS Boston for an interview about a variety of topics including work she does for the Boys & Girls Club and also the Be-A-Star Anti-Bullying Rally. They got into a talk about her title run and also discussed her current WWE gimmick. Check out the highlights below.

On a time she had to overcome bullying and fans turning on her:

I cash in my contract, and then everyone’s like, “Oh my gosh. I can’t believe she’s champion.” I was like, all of you people were just sort of rallying behind me and trying to get me, wanting me to win the title, and then I get it, and then immediately they’re all hating on me. But again, they’re always going to be hating.

On the evolution of her character the past year:

The last time we were in Brooklyn was SummerSlam, when I lost the title, and I was booed out of the building when I first came out for my entrance that night. And a few short weeks later I’m getting cheered, because I’m with R-Truth. So, for me, it’s just been really cool, because it’s something, and I hate to use the word, organic, because everyone uses that word. But my transition to being the character I am now was so organic. I never changed anything about me. I’ve been the exact same character. I was just paired with R-Truth, and now people like me. So it’s a lot of fun.

The origination of the “Dance Break”:

We did the very first episode of Truth TV, and it just took off. It was supposed to be a one-time thing and same thing with Truth and I. We were never supposed to be a thing, and then it just took off. And that’s why I just love the WWE, because you never know what’s going to happen. It’s so unpredictable, and you never know if things are going to catch on.

Check out the entire interview here and let us know what you think of Carmella’s current WWE run over the past few months.
