Braun Strowman And Bullying
Braun Strowman has been very vocal about his journey towards being fit. In the latest episode of WWE 24, he opened up about being bullied due to his size when he was young. “Bullying is something that everybody, I don’t care, how big and strong, how beautiful you are, at some point in your life, you get bullied.”
Looking back at his childhood, Strowman said, “I just didn’t understand why I would get picked on because I was friendly. I’m a fun person, like when I walk into a room I like making people laugh and stuff so it was really hard as a young kid growing up understand. I knew I was fat. Dealing with that, hearing it over and over and over, it wears on you. I mean this is hard to talk about.”
