Maria Kanellis lays down the facts.
On Jan. 16, Pro Wrestling Sheet reported that Mike and Maria Kanellis asked for their release from WWE over unhappiness about their current position in the company. WWE did not comment on the report but Fightful did confirm that the request was made.
Today, Maria took to social media to address the report in a series of posts.

Social Media Fact Check: Mike NEVER went to rehap ANYWHERE. He was on the road with me rehabbing. We were on house shows. He never took time off to rehab. He worked through it.

Social Media Fact Check: I worked for WWE for 6 years before I got pregnant. I worked in sports entertainment for 14 years before having a baby.

Social Media Fact Check: WWE has been SUPER supportive of me being a mother and a superstar!

It should be noted that Maria never denies the report of her and Mike requesting their release.
