Martha Hart comments on her relationship with Bret Hart

The season finale of Vice’s Dark Side of the Ring documentary releasing this Tuesday will be taking a look at the tragic death of former WWE star Owen Hart.

 


 

Owen’s widow Martha Hart has been making media rounds to promote the episode and in the spree, she recently spoke to TheWrap.com about a number of topics.

During the interview, Hart commented on her relationship with Owen’s brother Bret Hart and explained how their relationship was fractured:

“Bret was supportive throughout the lawsuit [against WWE], but there were a few things that were a problem with Bret,” she said. “First of all, when we were going through the lawsuit, he really was hoping that I would be able to help him get his wrestling footage. Because at the time, he had no relationship with WWE and he was hoping somehow — if we ever had a settlement — that we could work it in. When that didn’t happen, he was very upset that he didn’t get his footage. It prompted him to befriend Vince [McMahon] again so he could have access to his footage. That was the first fracture in our relationship.”

The WWE Hall Of Famer has since responded to the comments from Martha Hart and he released the following statement to media outlets:

“While I am not interested in engaging in any more media mudslinging between Martha and myself especially in light of a global pandemic, I will say that our fallout is multifaceted. To say that it only involved being able to access and use my WWE footage and photos for future projects would merely be an oversimplification and inaccurate. I will not comment any further on the matter.”
