During a recent interview with Sky Sports, WWE superstar Sonya Deville spoke about when she came out as gay during the first episode of her Tough Enough season.
Unexpectedly coming out on the first episode of WWE Tough Enough during her Q&A with Triple H and other WWE executives:
“During the preliminary taping of the first premiere episode, they asked me if I was in a relationship. I had a girlfriend at the time. Not only was I not expecting that question, I was in a bikini in high heels in front of Triple H and other WWE executives inside the ring! The other girls had spray tans and their extensions in, and they looked beautiful— and I was just like this MMA fighter chick. I felt so out of my comfort zone when they asked me that question.
“I thought ‘What do I do… well, tell the truth, right?’ So I said, ‘Yeah, I have a girlfriend, but she’s not my wife yet.’ I got nervous, and they all started smiling. I said, ‘Oh my god, I just came out on national television’. And Triple H replied, ‘Yeah you did!’ I just came back with, ‘Oh well, that’s that!'”
