Former WWE superstar Eva Marie recently confirmed that the tension between her and the rest of the Total Divas cast was authentic. She also discussed her sobriety journey during a recent interview.

Eva Marie on Total Divas Drama
Eva Marie confirmed the authenticity of the drama on Total Divas, stating:
Oh, that **** was real. I mean, we’re all good now, but that’s why I can laugh and talk about it, because that **** was [real].
She elaborated on being an outsider, saying:
For sure, and I totally get it. ‘Pay your dues. Who is this bitch? We’ve been going hard for the last X amount of years.’ You have to think too, not only were there two-minute matches, there is one storyline for the girls, so it’s a dog-eat-dog world.
Eva Marie joined WWE in 2013 and was soon called up to the main roster. She also competed in NXT for a year. Her run with the company in 2016 was shortened due to a Wellness Policy suspension, and she was pulled from the SummerSlam card and replaced by Nikki Bella.
Eventually, she parted ways with WWE in 2017 before returning for a second run in 2021. However, she was released during the round of layoffs.
