Scarlett feels that her WWE contract negotiations came off as “misogynistic”
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Karrion Kross and Scarlett commented on their departures from WWE. Here is an excerpt from what they said about the contract negotiations via ChrisVanVliet.com…
Scarlett: “I’d say we knew for months what was happening, what was going to happen. I hope it’s okay for me to say this, but I’m kind of his Game of Thrones Red Woman. I have been for a long time when it comes to astrology and looking things up, and a lot of the stuff I do on the paranormal show is a bit real with the tarot cards. So I did see that we were going to have some sort of contract dispute, but it was going to take a while. And I did feel in my gut like we’re going to step away since like, February.”
Karrion Kross: “I mean, we’ve told very few people about that, but yeah.”
Van Vliet: “Were you trying to make things work then?”
Kross: “Always trying to make things work, always trying to make the best of anything and everything, right?”
Scarlett: “You approached Hunter [Triple H] back in January, actually letting him know that you want to stay.”
Kross: “And you. I said we would both like to stay.”
Scarlett: “So after you talked to the representative of talent relations about your contract. One of the last questions before the 24-hour notice was given, Kevin [Kross] asked where I stood in all these contract negotiations. And they said, ‘We’ll get to her once we’re done with you,’ which I took as them using me as leverage against him. I do feel like if he agreed within the 24 hours that they would have offered me something, would it have been the same amount as it was before? Would it have been less? I don’t know. But all in all, it felt like a massive, massive red flag, and I did feel like it did come off a bit misogynistic, because originally I was hired before you, and the idea that I have no value without him, and it’s only determined by whether or not he signs, that came off as very misogynistic to me.”
