Fans quickly assumed the woman was Carmella and that she had already given birth. But Carmella wasted no time clearing things up in the comments.

“THIS IS DIMITRI!!! I DID NOT HAVE THE BABY!! LOL”

The comment refers to her first child, Dimitri Paul Polinsky, who was born on November 8, 2023.

Carmella Addresses Negative Reactions to Viral Remarks About WWE Punishing Her for Having a Child

Carmella’s podcast appearance had the internet talking, but not everyone liked what she had to say.

After her remarks about WWE “ghosting” her before her release went viral, many fans weren’t buying her take. Now, she’s addressing the backlash head-on.

On the Barely Famous podcast, Carmella—real name Leah Van Dale—opened up about how she was blindsided by WWE cutting ties with her after 12 years. She questioned whether it had to do with her being a mother and admitted she felt “punished” for having a baby. Fans, however, weren’t convinced, pointing out that superstars like Alexa Bliss and Becky Lynch had children and kept their jobs. Many insisted there had to be more to the story.

After the clip started making the rounds, Carmella took to Instagram to set the record straight, urging people to listen to the full episode before jumping to conclusions.

“OK, can I just say that those are just clips and short little edits from the entire hour-long podcast episode? So before you judge, I just want you to know that you have to listen to the entire episode to get context on any of this,” she said. “The podcast is not a hit piece on WWE at all. I literally just speak my truth and speak about what happened, what went down, and how everything transpired. So before you judge and make assumptions, wait till Friday till you listen to the entire thing… and then let me know what you think.”

It’s clear Carmella wants her side of the story heard, but will the full episode change public perception? Was she unfairly let go, or is there another side WWE fans aren’t seeing?

Do you think Carmella’s explanation changes anything, or are fans right to call her out? Let us know in the comments!
