Matt Riddle breaks his silence.
On the December 4 episode of WWE Raw, Riddle was written off television courtesy of Solo Sikoa. Riddle was stretchered out of the arena and it was was announced that he would be out of action for six weeks.
It was later reported by Cassidy Haynes of Bodyslam.net that Riddle had failed a drug test and would be going to rehab.
Adult film star Jordan Maxx, who was reportedly dating Riddle at one point, took to Twitter and posted the following message after photos came out of Riddle kissing adult film star Misha Montana:
"Does it make you feel better about yourself to kick people when they’re down?
Try to imagine for one second, the man you’ve spent the last 6 months with, who said “I love you” for the first time 2 months ago, is all of a sudden making out with someone else WHO IS IN YOUR INDUSTRY, and then, rather than keeping plans for Christmas and NYE, he’s going to rehab?
Do you have any idea how confusing and hurtful that is?
Adding this here since it seems many of you are overlooking it:
I’m not mad that he’s in rehab. He told me that he quit drugs, and then to find out he’s a) with another girl b) doing those drugs with her and c) failing drug tests so he has to go to rehab for it is disappointing
I do hope that he takes rehab seriously and gets the help he so desperately needs so that he can be the best version of who he is for his future partners, his kids, and himself"
Daniella Petrow, who was reportedly dating Riddle after his divorce, also took to social media and accused Riddle of sexual abuse.
Petrow says she told WWE about Riddle -- she did not specifically say what she told WWE about him or who she told -- and that rehab was not going to help him. She called for WWE to fire him.
Amid the accusations, Riddle took to Instagram to post the following message:
I’ve been working a lot on myself lately and have been saying no and setting boundaries for the first time ever and certain people aren’t happy about it, but I couldn’t be healthier or happier.
Thank you for all the support
Riddle did not comment on the allegations or reports that he is in rehab.
Samantha Tavel (Candy Cartwright) accused Riddle of sexual assault during speaking out and filed a lawsuit, which was later dropped.
WWE has yet to comment on the status of Riddle outside of what has happened on television.
