Randy Orton, now widely revered as a veteran in the professional wrestling world and adored by fans, had a tumultuous beginning in WWE marked by hotheadedness and backstage trouble due to anger issues. One incident, in particular, involves former WWE Diva Rochelle Loewen, whose brief tenure with the company from December 2003 to 2005 was marred by a turbulent relationship with Orton.
According to reports, Orton allegedly destroyed Loewen’s belongings on her first day by smearing lotion and baby oil on them. The motive behind this destructive act is said to be Orton’s frustration after his advances towards Loewen were rejected. Renee Dupree, speaking on Cafe de Rene, shared details of the incident, asserting that Orton, lacking finesse in his attempts to woo Loewen, resorted to destructive behavior when faced with rejection.
Contrary to a rumor circulating at the time that suggested Orton defecated in Loewen’s bag, Dupree clarified that Orton used tanning lotion on her clothes. He suggested that Orton’s reaction stemmed from his inability to handle rejection and described it as a temper tantrum akin to that of a small child. Dupree went on to contrast Orton’s approach with that of fellow wrestler Mark Jindrak, who, according to him, possessed a charm that Orton lacked.
Dupree reminisced about Loewen’s attractiveness, describing her as “sick hot,” and highlighted the costly repercussions of Orton’s actions. As a California girl with high-end clothing, her wardrobe likely bore the brunt of the tanning lotion, leading to potential ruin of expensive attire.
“Now, the story I have heard is that he defecated in her bag. That wasn’t it. He put tanning lotion all over her clothes in her bag, probably because Randy tried to hit on her. And Randy, I’m telling you, was not, had no game. Women have a sixth sense. They can smell confidence, and they can smell insecurity when a guy is trying to be a player but not very good at it. Randy was not very good at it. Now, Mark Jindrak was good at it. He had that, I don’t know, he had that charm. He could do it. Randy didn’t. Randy didn’t have it. He really didn’t.
But what would happen was when a girl would like blow him off, he would get mad, throw a temper tantrum like a small child. Yeah, he never defecated in her bag, but he put tanning lotion. But I believe she was a California girl, so, you know, she had that high-end clothes and stuff, like really, really expensive clothing that was probably just ruined. I remember her. She was sick hot, but (…) You know who dated her or went out on a date with her was Jindrak.”
The revelation sheds light on a darker aspect of Orton’s early career, portraying him as a young wrestler struggling with frustration and rejection. It also underscores the challenges and dynamics of interpersonal relationships behind the scenes in the world of professional wrestling.
