Adam Cole Addresses Haters Body Shaming Him: ”I Try Not to Get Discouraged by Social Media”

Adam Cole experienced a significant ankle injury during AEW Grand Slam, resulting in fractures in three different places. This unfortunate incident disrupted several plans for his future in wrestling, but he is back for good now. With that said, Cole has dealt with a lot of body shaming over the years and has now addressed the same.

In a recent interview with Scott Fishman from TV Insider, Adam Cole opened up about his feud with MJF, his return to wrestling, and the persistent issue of body shaming within the entertainment industry.

Cole recognized that being a public figure comes with the territory of facing scrutiny and judgment. He acknowledged that while it can be tough to handle criticism, especially when it comes to body shaming, and that it’s something that anyone in the entertainment business must accept. Instead of letting negativity affect him, Cole tries to focus on his personal growth and improvement.

Cole noted that while social media can be discouraging, he believes it can also serve as motivation for some individuals. Ultimately, Cole understands that criticism is a part of the public eye, and he remains committed to his goals in wrestling.

”Early on I recognized part of being a public figure is expecting to hear scrutiny, expecting to hear judgment. That’s what being in the public eye really means. People are allowed to say what they want to say. Does it feel good? Not at all. It definitely doesn’t. At the same time, if I’m someone who wants to be in the entertainment business and in the public eye, I know it’s something I have to expect to deal with in a lot of ways. I know everyone handles it differently.

For me, I’ve gotten to the point where I kind of ignore it or block it out as best I can. I’m focused on making me the best version of me. I try not to get too discouraged with what social media can say. I also think it can be motivating for some people. It can be a challenging time for people, but I try to block it out as best I can. It’s part of being a public figure where people are going to voice their opinions.”

Adam Cole made a shocking return at AEW WrestleDream and has since continued his feud with MJF on AEW television. No matter how much body shaming he deals with, Cole will continue to take it in stride and only improve himself and that’s all that matters to him in the end.
