Speaking during an appearance on D-Von Dudley’s podcast alongside
Karrion Kross, the topic of attire in the company was brought up. Specifically, Kross and {Scarlett] Bordeaux talked about how there were times when WWE was trying to cover up more of the female stars in the company.
To Bordeaux, this came off as the opposite of female empowerment, and just felt like another form of objectification.
“Telling a woman to take her clothes off is equivalent to saying cover up, basically,” Bordeaux said. “Like, just let me do what the hell I want to do, basically. So, you know, it’s just as bad to like, you know, it’s a different form of objectification.”
“I won’t say who, but some of the producers, every single time, like, before going out there, they’d be like, Can you just cover up the cleavage? Can you just pull that down? I’m like, OK, this is clearly not what we’re going for right now,” said Bordeaux.
