Another JBL bullying story was brought to light in this week’s Wrestling Observer newsletter. Dave Meltzer revealed a incident where JBL went after a person with a dying family member, who took some time off from WWE. The individual, who was a non-wrestler, took some additional time off to have a minor surgery done and when they returned JBL began berating them backstage about missing shows and how even a hernia surgery could not stop him. The person let JBL know this was not the right time for this behavior as they were dealing with some private matters. JBL ignored this and continued until the person broke down and began crying.
The person is speculated to be former ring announcer Lilian Garcia, who took a leave of absence from WWE to care for her dying father.
