Stephanie McMahon Speaks Out On The Hate Her Family Received Over The Years

Stephanie McMahon opens up on the negativity and hate the McMahons had to deal with while navigating through the entire Vince McMahon legal drama. The former WWE kingpin's daughter reflected it has been difficult for them as the media were behind their family and that it was particularly difficult when she was in high school. But at this stage, she treats all of it just like noise.

“It’s been my whole life. When I was in high school was when my dad was indicted by the federal government. The media came after my family in a really big and really hard way to deal with when we were in high school. I think at that time, I was filled with a lot of anger and resentment, and I had a hard time navigating all of that.

"I think now in my later years, when all of it seems to happen again, it’s with a little bit of reverence that I can appreciate all of it because it’s just noise. We all have opinions no matter what, and that’s great. You can think you know exactly what’s going on. You can give whatever dirt you think you know. But at the end of the day, I know where I stand, and that’s how I have to just be grounded and rooted in who I am and what I believe in and try to ignore the noise,” Stephanie McMahon said during an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
