Rhea Ripley has asked for common courtesy from fans after being surrounded as she tried to get into a taxi in Paris.

The incident occurred ahead of WWE’s Clash in Paris premium live event.

In a social media post, Ripley described being “completely mobbed” and pushed against her Uber driver’s door. She urged fans to remember that wrestlers are people and to use common sense and humanity.

Ripley posted the following on X (formerly Twitter):

Remember, we are people. Do not swarm me or anyone like a pack of rabid zombies… No one should ever be pushed up against a Uber driver’s door and completely mobbed like I just experienced. Use common courtesy and humanity. No means no. Wtf.

French wrestling outlet Catch-Newz shared footage of the incident, showing Ripley surrounded by a group of fans.

This is not the first time Ripley has addressed inappropriate fan behavior. Earlier this year, she stated that fans sending mail to her private home address, whether by post or in person, was a violation of her privacy.

Ripley is not scheduled to compete at Clash in Paris, but Monday Night Raw will take place at the Paris La Défense Arena tomorrow.
