Alexa Bliss spoke on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast about her Playground segments from 2021 and the criticism she got for them.
Bliss said:
“With anything with the playground Alexa and Lilly stuff, there were so many negative comments from the day I started until even now. People just hate on it so much. But when I was in that persona, I didn’t care because I was having so much fun. People were invested because they were buying Lilly dolls. Girls were dressing up as dark Alexa – guys and girls. That’s what I pay attention to. I don’t pay attention a lot to the negative comments on wrestling Twitter because I feel like you go to Twitter sometimes when you’re looking to read negative stuff. I feel like 90 percent of it is negative. With that persona, with dark Alexa, no because I was having so much fun and knew where I was going with it and my vision. I was having fun being entertained by it and the fact that it would resonate with children so much is what made me not pay attention to the negativity online.”
