'I won't let abusive trolls win or bring me down', says defiant Brit wrestler Lucia Lee

Lucy Brown has had to deal with more in her short career than most.Aged 19, and having only been in the ring for around three years under the name Lucia Lee, she has had to tackle a global pandemic and wrestling's own version of the #MeToo movement, called Speaking Out.And the Nuneaton-native has also faced flack for her relationship with another wrestler – around nine years her elder.The pair met when she was 17, but only by chance at shows.They did not form a relationship until a year or so later – but thanks to trolls on social media, Lucy and her other half have faced constant vile accusations of “grooming” and worse.All of which has led to her gaining a reputation for being outspoken, and she has no intention of shutting her mouth, either.Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star before making an appearance at Manchester's Catch Pro Wrestling's Monday Night Catch: Pro event, she said: “I got very, very sad (when she started being outspoken about Speaking Out).“I was being really outspoken for everyone else, and I felt like no one really cared about the repercussions on me, which kind of sucks because I was 17 when it happened.“A lot of people just sort of, I wouldn't say took advantage, but got me to sort of do their bidding and dirty work a little bit.“I think because they thought 'oh if Lucy takes all the heat, you know, I won't have to deal with it. ' That kind of annoyed me, but at the end of the day, always speak your mind.“It got to a point where I didn't want to come back to wrestling – at all.“On the day before my first show back after the long extended lockdown – which was also a Catch show - I was crying while I was out in the morning.“I didn't want to go, but my boyfriend was like 'you kind of have to go'.
