In a story that reminds everyone in the public eye to be extremely careful of their private material, WWE star Seth Rollins' Instagram and Twitter accounts posted a topless photo of current WWE developmental talent Zahra Schreiber just as Monday Night Raw was about to go on the air.
The photo was deleted within minutes but obviously, given the nature of the Internet, continued to spread.
How and why the photo was posted is unknown as of this writing, although there are some who have theorized to us the fallout points to the personal responsible.
That fallout: Several minutes after the post on Rollins' accounts went public, Rollins' fiancee Leighla Schultz, on her Twitter account, posted Zahra's name, followed by question marks. That post was followed by several nude photos of Rollins.
While one could theorize all the social media accounts were hacked, that theory would be shot down by the fact that Schultz's personal Facebook account posted several "quoted statements" mocking Rollins, insinuating they were statements he made, possibly via text, to Zahra. It may indeed be a case of "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Eventually, all the nude material was pulled from all the respective Twitter accounts, but again, given the nature of the Internet, they are likely out there for good.
Initially, PWInsider.com decreed that while the photos were publicly disseminated, it was a private matter which we were not going to report on as our stance is that unless it has a ripple effect on the wrestling business, it's out of bounds.
However, 25 minutes ago, Rollins issued a statement via Twitter, which meant it was now officially a wrestling-related as he was apologizing to fans and WWE. The statement reads:
I would like to apologize to all the WWE fans and my family and friends for private photographs that were distributed without my consent.
