Last night’s AAA Worldwide was a major event for the Mexico-based promotion with a lot of in-ring newsworthy moments occurring, but there was one unplanned unfortunate occurrence that went down outside the ring. During a match for the AAA Women’s Championship, Scarlett Bordeaux was on the outside of the ring mixing it up with fellow her female competitors before being grabbed and hugged by a fan at ringside. Bordeaux has stated that she was too caught up in the events of the match to actually realize what was going on in the moment, but you can see by the GIF below, Lady Shani comes in to pull Bordeaux away from the over-stepping fan.

Bordeaux had some comments to share on the matter and talked about how it’s never right to put your hands on a talent without his/her permission:
It is NEVER okay to touch a performer without their consent. I didn’t realize what happened until I watched the footage afterwards being so in the moment after a dive with my back turned otherwise I would have reacted much differently. Thnx to @LadyShaniAAA for having my back
Please don’t apologize. This has nothing to do with Mexico and unfortunately happens everywhere to many women. It was just one sick individual who crossed a line.

Just a final thought. If you wouldn’t want a stranger to grab you on the street, don’t do it to a wrestler as they’re putting their bodies on the line trying to entertain you. To the few who tried to justify this persons behavior-

What I wear is completely irrelevant. Could be a string bikini or a snowsuit, it doesn’t matter. My body is mine and you cannot touch me without my permission. Most fans I encounter are respectful, awesome people and I appreciate you.

That’s not entirely accurate. Scarlett is a bit more complex than that. My character is someone self-liberated beyond other people’s subjective opinions on how a person should dress, behave and act. Sexy is subjective. I dress how I like. https://t.co/3jvqUu39Wi
