Anger and sadness run through me right now.
people who cause such hurt should be brought to justice for their actions!
beautiful, young vulnerable girls share their light with you for your entertainment and this is how you make them feel?
I wish I could protect them. ?

Legit, my first day at stardom, she was the most welcoming cause she had the best English out of the entire locker room, she loved taking to the gaijin's to improve her English. I looked forward to seeing her every show. I'm truly heartbroken right now #RIPHana pic.twitter.com/J0zFfNDR2X

I just want people to take the same energy that they would want for themselves or their loved ones to have and give it to other people’s loved ones. The amount of depravity on social media is just absolutely insane and unnecessary. It has got to stop. ? #RIPHanaKimura

Thankyou for teaching me japanese, teaching me japanese dances, always checking I’m okay, for being my translator.
Most importantly, thank you for being there and making me laugh.
It’s so hard being away from home, but you made japan feel like home ?

Suicide is something that hits too close to home.?
If there is anyone out there that is feeling unwanted, unloved, or anything of the sort :
You are in this world for a reason. A purpose. You are loved. Please be strong. Reach out for help. We are here for you and love you???

Hanakimura was 22… 22!
Bullying is NOT ok. #RIPHanakimura— RheaRipley_WWE (@RheaRipley_WWE) May 23, 2020
Ppl just really don’t understand the affect their words/jokes/energy/attacks have on others. Just because it can be distant or faceless doesn’t mean it is innocent or harmless.

This pack of wolves mentality some fans have needs to stop. Same ones preaching about fairness will tear you apart if they see your friends doing the same #RIPHanaKimura

Cyber bullying is very real, and people’s words have a deeper impact than they’ll ever know. I should know, I’ve lived it for over a decade. But tonight’s news about Hana Kimura breaks my heart for everyone. Choosing a life of a performer does not mean they’ve signed up for hate.

I couldn’t imagine dealing with hate on social media at 22. I can barely handle it now. Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves. ?#HanaKimura #RIPHanaKimura

I only met Hana a few times but her kindness shone through instantly and she was set to be one of the greatest wrestlers of a generation but more importantly she was 22 years young with her whole life ahead of her. I can’t imagine how her family & friends feel right now. RIP.

In 2016 I was on Vacation in japan and @azucarRoc put me in contact with Kyoko Kimura to go train while there. She had me meet her at the train station outside of Tokyo to go to the Ice ribbon dojo to train, that’s when i met Kyoko and her An aspiring pro wrestling daughter Hana pic.twitter.com/Lm5Ah8Dwji
