"I was dating a guy that was a huge wrestling fan, and I'm embarrassed to say it now, but I used to make fun of him for watching it"
About this Quote
The line also carries a neat irony given Wilson’s own proximity to wrestling’s ecosystem. As a celebrity whose public image has been shaped by spectacle, branding, and an audience’s appetite for scripted narrative, she’s describing the same dynamic she benefited from: entertainment that’s openly constructed, yet emotionally real for fans. That’s the subtext: we forgive “manufactured” drama when it’s packaged as prestige TV, but sneer when it’s a ring and spandex.
Context matters, too. Dating someone with a stigmatized hobby forces a choice: participate, tolerate, or police it. Wilson is acknowledging she policed it, then learned the cultural hierarchy she was enforcing is flimsy. The quote reads like a small personal growth story, but it’s also a snapshot of how taste becomes a weapon in relationships - and how easy it is to confuse judgment with identity.
