Well, she was on NXT, so I think this is the correct section.
Anyway, I don't doubt ALL her credentials necessarily, but at least one of them I thought was suspect. I read on a few places that she went to NYU. Yet, she is only 24 and from different sources, I read that she has wrestled since 2007 (when if she graduated she would have still been in school), worked a full time job and was at one point homeless for three years.
Now, from experience I know NYU is an EXTREMELY tough school to get into. Hell, I've known people with above 4.0 GPAs who have gotten rejected from there. With all these other factors, it is possible that Lee did all this, but VERY unlikely.
So what is fact and what is fiction in AJ Lee's background?

The homeless thing have a time frame? Because lacking that, she could have been homeless as a child or something.

She attended NYU. That doesnt mean she graduated.
She's also a minority. This plays into admissions.

I don't know the time frame, but if that has any truth to it then I would think it would have to be as a child. Even then I just don't see her juggling being a full-time student, having a full-time job and wrestling all at the same time. |

I guess I kind of refused to believe that point since the way it is written everywhere on the net, makes it sound like she graduated. I hate when that happens to famous people as I think it undercuts the people who did actually put four years or so into earning their degrees. |

It doesnt say she graduated. Its very possible she was accepted to NYU. You also don't have to be a full time student. She may have been part time. She may have only gone for a year or even a semester. Not enough information is out there to say one way or another. Shes from Union City, which is 10-20 minutes from NYU via public transportation. Its highly possible its true and theres many ways a case can be made for her having attended. At the end of the day, what does it matter? |

After all, I doubt even if she did graduate, that it'd hurt the credibility of the company. It's not that it comes up overly much and she doesn't use the credentials for work much I imagine.

As you mentioned its not necessarily her fault as others might have twisted it, but I'm more against the inflation than anything. At the end of the day, I'd still bang her though  |

You can go to college and wrestle at the same time.
Now the homeless thing I don't believe, unless she was like living in her car to pay for college and wrestling school. She wrestled in WSU for a couple of years before going to FCW in 2009.

Well, I dunno about the school thing, but as was said above, it's possible she was homeless as a child. Hell, if she was in a relationship with Jay Lethal, and he's the one that initially trained her, I doubt he'd let her sleep in her car while he's training her (and, well, "training" her).

More than anything though I was just hoping someone could clarify her record between what actually happened and what didn't. So far, all we've really had in this thread is speculation. |

I'm a big AJ fan and I never heard the homeless thing. She brought it up on NXT. So what is she doing now? is she in FCW or did she get Future endeavoured? And I'm dissapointed at the lack of recent pictures of her  |

At the end of the day, I'd still bang her though Her credentials mean nothing in the world that she has chosen to work in. She's not applying for a production job. Its such an insignificant thing, I just don't understand the reasoning behind questioning it. If she was a member of creative you'd have a point, but a college degree isnt going to get you into the ring. |

But seriously I'm more interested in just knowing what part of her background is true and which is not. The college thing just stuck out the most because it seemed the most dubious to me. |

According to wikipedia, she attended the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and majored in film and television production. Doesn't say if she graduated. It does say she was FORMERLY in a relationshipw/ Jay Lethal... so, sounds like shes available. *squeeeeeeel*

If I remember correctly from one of her NXT getting to know you videos on wwe.com, she alluded to the fact that her family was homeless at some point when she was young, but then again, Josh and Cole talked like it was not that long ago, so who knows, it's wrestling, backgrounds are always muddled. |
