Ronda Rousey Alleges WWE Wrestler Drew Gulak ‘Grabbed The String Of Her Sweatpants’ Backstage

WWE

In an interview with NewsNation, Ronda Rousey alleged that WWE wrestler Drew Gulak once ‘grabbed the string of her sweatpants’ backstage.

UPDATE: – Drew Gulak has responded, tweeting: “Backstage at a WWE event in 2022, I saw Ronda talking with a group in the hallway. I stopped to say hi and shake all their hands, and in an attempt to shake her hand, I accidentally touched her drawstring. Complete accident, and one that I had apologized to her for the mishap”.

Rousey was being interviewed about the issues of sexual misconduct within WWE.

NewsNation has also recently interviewed former WWE star Paul Roma regarding the January lawsuit that featured allegations against Vince McMahon of sexual trafficking and abuse, as well as Cara Pipia who was interviewed about Ashley Massaro.

During her appearance on April 2, 2024, Rousey said the following about the alleged incident involving Gulak:

“I was standing there, and this guy who I was barely an acquaintance with grabs the string of my sweatpants as I’m walking by. Like, I wasn’t even looking at him. This guy grabs the string of my sweatpants, and nobody else reacts as if this is abnormal.

“He grabs it and he starts going down the hall and I’m just like, ‘What the f**k was that?’ Like, why are you grabbing the string of my sweatpants? If my husband was standing here next to me, would you feel comfortable walking up to me and grabbing the string of my sweatpants?

“But nobody around me acted as if it was abnormal. All the guys around me were just like, this is part of the day. And I’m like, if this guy is coming up to me and doing this kind of stuff to me when there’s other people around, what’s happening to these other girls when it’s not in a hallway or something like that? So that really put me on edge to like, not only is this behavior prevalent, but it’s so prevalent that people don’t even realize it’s a problem anymore.

“Drew Gulak, that’s who it was. I went and confronted him later and I was like, ‘If I ever hear about you putting your hands on any other woman like this or doing anything like this to me ever again, we’re gonna have a problem’.

“And he was like, ‘No no, I’m glad that you said something to me’. He just really like backpedaled and everything like that. But it just put a really sour taste in my mouth about the culture there and what’s considered acceptable, and how to touch and treat the women in the hallways, and anywhere.”
