9. Lita
Before we even get into this one, we want to make it clear these are all rumors and conjecture, and the worst of it hasn’t been in any way proven. Since she has entered the industry, Lita has been the victim of countless slut-shaming rumors circling around her alleged promiscuity. The main rumor is that she regularly traded some pretty crazy sexual favors in exchange for training while she was getting started in Mexico and ECW. El Dandy and Danny Doring are often named as the men who took the greatest advantage of her offers.
The only real justification for the rumor is that Lita hasn’t talked much about her training in Mexico aside from acknowledging she was there, and it’s assumed she didn’t have much money at the time, so how else could she pay? Of course, there’s any number of ways she actually could’ve paid, since we know virtually nothing about her family history or her life before becoming a wrestler. The rumor has persisted through the years perhaps in part due to Lita’s onscreen character, not to mention the fact elements of said character were inspired by Lita cheating on her boyfriend Matt Hardy in real life.
