Steve Austin's ex-wife going public.
Steve Austin's ex-wife Debra speaks out about domestic abuse, says she can relate
Steve Austin's ex-wife, Debra Marhsall, commented on the Benoit Family Tragedy in a story published by My Fox TV in Colorado:
Regarding domestic abuse and drugs in pro wrestling, she said: "The domestic and drug abuse is out of hand in the WWE and something needs to be done about it."
Regarding the pattern of deaths in pro wrestling, she said: "In the last ten years, 60 wrestlers under age 45 have died... all in the prime of their lives. Big strong men, who somehow die with little or no investigation of the organization that encourages performers to use muscle-enhancing drugs."
The article concludes:
Ms. Williams claims she and Nancy Benoit's stories are very similar.
Both sought help from law enforcement because of domestic abuse. In 2003, Benoit sought a divorce from Chris Benoit saying he physically abused her, she also asked the courts for a restraining order. Williams did the same thing on the third occasion when she says she was attacked by "Stone Cold."
Williams says, like Benoit, Austin all but forced her to write a letter to authorities saying her complaint was a mistake. But in Williams's case, the courts put Austin on probation for a year. In return, Ms. Williams was placed under a gag order, forcing her to remain silent about the "dark side" of professional wrestling, filled with drugs, booze, and domestic abuse.
"If only I had spoken up sooner, maybe Nancy and her little boy would be alive today... that's why I'm going public now, something has to change!"
In the TV report, she said:
-"Everyone thought we had this wonderful life, had this big house, worked together."
-"Steroids! He (Steve Austin) was doing steroids. I saw him do it, so I know he did it."
-"I have lived it. I have lived domestic abuse. I don't even want to think about what Nancy went through."
-"Why kill your wife, who's innocent, and why kill your seven year old, a little child. That's why I have to speak up. I've been silent for too many years." She said a gag order prevented her from talking about it her case with Austiin for a year.
-"I know what it feels like to have someone really, really big on top of you hitting you."
-"I had him arrested for hitting me."
-"I have a huge voice being that I was a wrestler, in it, abused, and married to the top guy. I'm glad I'm alive."
