WWE Head of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis is often blasted for firing talents in the company. But he has immense contributions to the company. He has been praised on multiple occasions as well.
Jillian Hill opens up on John Laurinaitis
The former WWE star Jillian Hall, who recalled when Laurinaitis helped her during a sudden miscarriage while on the active roster in 2009. Johnny Ace was able to help her out as he went above and beyond what most might in a similar situation. Jillian Hall took to Twitter to go more in-depth on how Laurinaitis help to get her a doctor and made sure she could make a speedy recovery. It is needless to mention that the shocking miscarriage took a toll on Hall mentally, but she received a flood of support after posting her message.
Here is what she wrote:
“So many people want to bash @WWE for how they treat their talent, but it’s a business, like any other. It’s a tv show! Did u know in spring (I think) 2009 I lost a baby while on the active roster? I had a complete mental breakdown in LA. I was booked for RAW but John Laurinaitis handled it so gracefully.
“He got me on a flight home and found me a dr immediately for intense therapy for the next 6 weeks. I was off the road for a bit and checked on frequently. They made sure I was totally ok before returning to work.”
