This episode of The Guilty Feminist is sponsored by Ashley versus WWE, the true story of wrestler

0:06.5

Ashley Masaru. Ashley Masaru was a wrestling star appearing on American television from 2005,

0:13.2

but she took her own life in 2019, after making allegations of abuse against world wrestling

0:18.8

entertainment the company which promoted her. In this audible original podcast, you'll hear Ashley's

0:24.1

true story, which touches on important themes of mental health and the Me Too movement. It

0:29.0

investigates the claims that WWE not only failed to protect Ashley throughout her career,

0:34.1

but on multiple occasions put her directly in harm's way. It's a grim story, but an important one,

and one in two of their mortgages goes to a first time buyer. I feel incredibly lucky to have

1:34.4

been able to buy my flat. It was very difficult for me to be able to afford it, but the stars aligned

1:39.2

and I was able to pull it off. I think a year later or a year earlier, I genuinely wouldn't have

managed it. I'm not just saying that, I honestly sometimes feel like Indiana Jones diving under the

1:48.2

door and pulling back to Grabby's hat when I think about buying my flat. Part of the problem today
