Stephanie Vaquer spoke out after a fan recorded her refusing an autograph on her birthday. Her message drew wide attention and millions of views online.
What happened
Vaquer said a fan followed her for a long time and would not take no for an answer. The incident happened while she was out on her birthday. She wrote that she was having a bad day and asked for understanding, but the person kept recording and said hurtful things.
Vaquer’s message on X
The Women’s World Champion posted on X (formerly Twitter) to explain what happened. She wrote: “I always stop and I’m very kind to my fans. Yesterday was my birthday and I was honestly having a really bad day. Even so, I politely asked for understanding, and many people respected that. But you followed me for a long time, saying hurtful things and making me feel uncomfortable. I told you no multiple times, and you kept following me and recording. And now you’re posting this on social media. It’s sad to see people like you call themselves fans….”
Reaction and aftermath
The fan who posted the video later deleted their post. Vaquer’s reply drew a lot of attention. Her message racked up more than 1.3 million views on X within 24 hours.
Other wrestlers have raised similar concerns in recent years about being harassed or having their privacy invaded while traveling. For example, a top star asked fans to respect wrestlers’ boundaries, and another demanded that people stop sending mail to her home. Vaquer’s post adds to a growing conversation about how fans should treat performers off stage.
What’s next for Vaquer
Vaquer is set to defend her Women’s World Championship at WrestleMania 42. In three weeks, she will face Liv Morgan for the title. The match is one of the main storylines going into the event.
Vaquer asked for respect and privacy in her post. Her message is getting broad attention as the wrestling world watches both the reaction and the upcoming title match.
