WWE: Alexa Bliss breast implants, eating disorder | Raw, SmackDown
Alexa Bliss has revealed that she got breast implants to help her recover from eating disorders that almost killed her when she was just 17-years-old.
The WWE superstar bravely overcame demons she suffered in her teenage years to become a five-time Women’s Champion.
Known as ‘The Goddess’, she admitted she had a boob job in December but has now opened up about what led to her going under the knife when she was younger.
During a 365 feature on the WWE network, the 27-year-old revealed her health had once deteriorated to the point that she might have died.
“I’ve had implants since I was 17, we’re just going to throw that out there,” Bliss said.
“When I had my eating disorder I got down to 38kg.
“My doctor told my mom, ‘If she doesn’t get admitted she will die’.
“They treated my health symptoms, they didn’t treat the mental side of it.
“The second time I was hospitalised they treated it like a mental disorder and a mental illness and that’s when it actually started getting better.
“So, I was very self-conscious about my body and the fact that I felt like a seven-year-old boy.
“There are studies that show it (implants) helps women recover from eating disorders because they feel more womanly and they feel better about their bodies and better about their self-image.
“All the doctors that were in on this one procedure were my paediatrician, my eating disorder doctor, my psychologist, my psychiatrist.
“I will never regret doing that for myself because it helped me get over my eating disorders and my body image issues.”
The Ohio-born star recently returned to in-ring action after an almost year battle with a series of concussions.
She has quickly returned top the top of the female card but failed to dislodge Bayley as SmackDown’s Women’s Champion at Stomping Grounds.
Ahead of the pay-per-view, Bliss also admitted that she feared Vince McMahon would hate her coffee-drinking gimmick so much he’d give her the sack.
