It wasn't just "the last few years she was there" that they treated her like shit. Read her book. They had her doing the swimsuit shoots that she was never comfortable with, the whole angle with Malenko, but especially forcing her to do a lingerie show at WWF New York, which was not only tasteless, but made zero sense for the story and was just an excuse to objectify her. When she and Matt became a couple on-air, they spoke up about having to do the big kiss every show, because it would get old. So instead, they had Rikishi give Lita a Stink Face. Doing the Team Xtreme breakup angle in late-2001 that they were all against and having her take a scary bump off the stage, that even the guy throwing her (Undertaker) had reservations about. Then of course there's her "brilliant" booking in 2004, with the pregnancy bullshit, which, despite giving us Gene Snitsky and the awesome Trish/Lita main event, was a disgrace. And the aforementioned run with Edge and her retirement. They treated her like crap most of the time she was there. And I'm sure she's not the only woman who was treated that way. Just one of the only ones to speak up. All of this bullshit she went through And there are dozens of women who wish they had a career with as many highlights in as Lita had. Lita, having been through this shit, is relatively lucky. f***! WWE has been awful to women Considering what has happened during the past 3 years I figured Vince would of been Metooed by now. North American wrestling's #SpeakingOut will happen. It's a 'when' not an 'if.' It just hasn't quite happened yet.

Sad looking back her whole 2006 gimmick was cheating slut whore. She really aged somewhat in her ring work aswell, looked like she had given up. I know it's tasteless cause the gimmick essentially came from her cheating on Matt... But I loved this version of Lita and thought it worked really well.

Unfortunately he's like his deplorable friend, he's so sleazy people don't expect better from him so it would have little impact. He owns his company so isn't going to get fired, USA won't drop the shows because they have nothing else, he's not on TV so can't get taken off and they know advertisers will be back when the heat dies down. He's survived a sex scandal, a different one involving minors, his former employees keep dropping dead before the age of retirement, government investigations, a murder suicide, grilling the frieving widow of a wrestler on camera the night after her husband's death to try and get her ti say something he can use to avoid being sued, firing a hundred or so people a year throughout the 2000s...

Which Doing the exciting stuff like the Litacurana wouldn't fit into the style. But lossing her passion at the time because how fans would chant some really bad stuff to her. The fact they had Lawler keep making those jokes. It was very toxic situation.

Lita’s treatment in the last couple of years of her WWE run was f***ing gross. She cheated on Matt and that sucks but how about Edge who cheated on his wife and it ended up making his career? This woman had fans stop her on the street to call her a slut and then on TV they made her out to be the biggest whore. Her “send off” was Cryme Tyme selling off her items while just a couple months prior they gave Trish a fairytale ending. So much double standards here and it’s no surprise that Vince and co. are scum. I think people also tend to forget that for a long time we only heard Matt's side of thr story. I dont think Lita or Edge fully discussed what happened but I remember someone on this board years ago mentioning Lita's side and how Matt had a lot of issues back then already and was obsessed with getting a push even in home life.

Matt was on airing his side on live journal I think? and probably one of the first adopters of early internet social media at the time while many wrestlers didn't have as much of an internet presence?
I only recall pieces of what happened and then saw the raw where he came in

Yep and Bruce mentioned on his podcast that Lita and Edge just wanted to move on especially Lita.

Vince McMahon is pond scum for the way he’s treated not just Lita, but Trish (Lest we forget her on her knees barking like a dog), Mickie James (Piggy James anyone?), and even Nattie(the farting storyline). Be A ⭐️ indeed Vince

Damn Lita too?!? *Struggles not to start hating on this dude* It seems they dated on 2012 and 2013. So after the Summer of Punk and most likely not the bullying story he would have kayfabe told. No shortage of Vince bullying stories I am sure. Wasn't Punk the person the infamous Matt Hardy eating grapes video was about?

I dont mean this in anyway to be negative towards her, but shes basically an actor and thats her job. If your hired for a movie and it calls for a sex scene ( this wasnt even close to a sex scene) and you dont want to do it, i see nothing wrong with that. I work for a insurance company and take calls all day... if they ask me to do something and I dont want to do it, then I should be fired. They werent asking her to break any laws, or do anything insane. I dont see how this is Vince bullying anyone.

If an actor feels uncomfortable doing a stunt or a sex scene, they can't be punished for it Wrestlers don't have a union. If they don't want to do a move or a storyline, they can, and often are, punished for it. They lose their position on the show, or even fired for it. Lita wasn't in a position to say no. It was either do what she was told, or risk being fired. In the end, she just quit, and was embarrassed all the way out the door.
