WWE diva Alicia Fox has revealed she was in relationship Brit wrestling star Wade Barrett - but her romance with the man known as Bad News ended over her mum's "life threatening" spell on the streets.
The 31-year-old was the first and only African American Diva's champion.


And once she got involved with Barrett, real Stu Bennett, the world looked to be Foxy's oyster.
But after experiencing her parents' domestic abuse as a child and hearing about her mother's three year stretch of being homeless, the couple split because she could not discuss her emotional issues with the ex-Intercontinental champion.
Discussing her two-year relationship with Barrett and her mum's problems on Chasing Glory, she revealed: "My mom was on the street for like three years. It was insane. That was horrible. That was horrible because for me I knew that she was giving me a lot of stress and anxiety that I was bringing to work. I didn't really realise it was having such a huge effect on me.
"I couldn't even talk to Stu [Bennett, a.k.a. Wade Barrett] about it. I love Stu to death, but he was not the kind of relationship partner that I felt comfortable to talk about where I was emotionally and that was something I felt like, 'Well, maybe I'm not worthy, maybe I shouldn't, maybe these emotions aren't right.'


"It's just who he is. He's not an emotional person. We're just better friends. When I was really going through this thing when my mom was on the street and stuff, I wanted someone to talk about it with.
"So instead, I held it in my stomach and moved on. So my mom kept a diary of her whole experience on the streets. Sleeping in cars, meeting people, doing this, doing that and she kept a diary of it.
"I keep telling her, 'Mom, you got to write this book out. You got to put it out there because people could probably really benefit, you know? Maybe somebody's in the same zone.'
"I haven't brought myself to read it because from some of the stuff my mom's told me so far, it sounds really ugly and very scary and very life threatening."

Fox, who is currently starring on WWE's Monday Night Raw show, went on to reveal witnessing domestic abuse between her parents as a child and how it has left her emotionally scarred.
She added: "I don't really know if I understood at that point what I was really witnessing. I just remember one night my sister and I in Texas - I think this was one of the last nights we were at my house in Greenville,Texas.
"My mom, I could hear her crying of like pain or sadness or something and my dad, things were breaking. It was just very violent and a very bad kind of night. I remember my sister and I not knowing what to do because we shared a room.




"I remember we were going to open the window and just start screaming for help. It was the first time that I for whatever reason my mind saw myself and my sister screaming out that window from above in a very weird meditated state.
"If I could recall that night, because it's one of the only memories I really have of my parents being abusive, other than the fact that my dad moved to Commerce, Texas where he could finish his degree and I remember my mom being very miserable there and I think that was where it started kicking off."
