As has been reported throughout the wrestling world, Tammy “Sunny” Sytch has entered a WWE sponsored rehabilitation program. Before she checked into rehab she did an interview to talk about her situation.
According to Bryan Alvarez reports that she attributes her erratic behavior in recent months, which has led to her no-showing multiple wrestling events she was scheduled to perform on, to depression stemming from loneliness. The couple have a long-distance relationship as they only spend time together on weekends and on Mondays she often becomes depressed and subsequently behaves in an erratic manner through the week. The website says she has had “several bad Fridays” but last week’s ordeal was serious enough that Darling gave her an ultimatum; either enter rehab or they were through.
Dave Meltzer stated in 2005 in his obituary for Sytch’s boyfriend Chris Candido that her refusal to enter a rehabilitation center led to her termination from WWE, then known as the World Wrestling Federation, in the summer of 1998. After repeated no-shows and questionable excuses, particularly when she claimed to executive Linda McMahon that she had miscarried a child and was unable to produce medical documentation, was asked to enter rehab. She refused and was let go as a result. She entered rehab at least once years later, but was unable to cease her substance abuse.
Here’s a preview for the video that Tammy says is the first step in cleansing her inner being:
