RVD Challenges “Never Hit a Woman” Stance: “There Are Always Exceptions”

WWE Hall of Famer Rob Van Dam stirred up conversation during his appearance on The Dirty Secrets Podcast with Kate Shelor, where he tackled the sensitive topic of hitting women. Known for his unfiltered take on life, RVD questioned the absolute stance that it’s “never okay” to hit a woman, prompting a nuanced discussion with the host.

“So many basic thinkers—which I believe is the majority of the people—just have thoughts like, ‘All I know is you don’t ever hit a woman no matter what. There’s never an excuse for that. Never?’” RVD said, challenging the blanket statement.

Shelor pressed him further, asking, “So, you’re saying there’s an excuse for everybody to get smacked every once in a while?”

RVD clarified his stance with a hypothetical example: “No, I’m just saying hypothetically, let’s say some lady’s stabbing me over and over again in the stomach—then it’s okay to hit her. So there’s always exceptions. That’s one of my values.”

RVD expanded on his perspective, explaining his disdain for absolutes or rigid ultimatums. “There are no absolutes in my perspective,” he said, emphasizing that context matters in every situation.

VD’s bold stance on such a polarizing topic is bound to get people talking—and that’s exactly what he does best. Love him or hate him, the WWE legend isn’t afraid to speak his mind and challenge conventional thinking. Whether you see his perspective as thought-provoking or crossing the line, one thing’s for sure: RVD always keeps it real and unapologetically honest.
