Hi Lillian you did such a outstanding interview with Mandy rose and Dana Brooke recently

BethB10 ,

Stop trying to be a therapist.

I love learning about the real lives of WWE superstars, their struggles and how they overcame them. What bothers me is that Lillian gives advise that she’s not qualified to give. Lillian is a journalist, not a therapist or psychologist. What’s worse is that she tries to relate with the Superstar by sharing a personal story that is not at all similar to the trauma the Superstar went through. I’m sure she means well but it’s condescending.
