Maria Kanellis denies asking for her WWE release

Maria Kanellis has flat-out denied that she has requested her release from WWE after posting a long statement on Instagram claiming that “speculation and rumors are running rampant” and “someone is playing all the wrestling news sites.”

Kanellis said that she’s been in this business for 15 years and doesn’t need to stir up sh!t to put others down. “I am an imperfect human that has learned from past mistakes. Whoever is leaking rumors I pity you. And your desperate attempt for attention while disparaging my husband and I,” Kanellis wrote.

She said that she’s gotten a lot of e-mails and phone calls about it and will be taking the weekend off of social media to concentrate on hanging out with her family instead.

“I am still learning how to be a mom. I still fight postpartum depression. And I still try and become a better person everyday. I don’t need this made up extra stress. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and thank you for your support!” she concluded.
