When Lita entered the first ever Women’s Royal Rumble the Philadelphia crowd ignited with glee. But She wasn’t there to just appease nostalgic wrestling fans, she was there to make a statement.
Lita rocked the now iconic “#TimesUp” message written across her midsection. For that unfamiliar #TimesUp was created after the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal. The hashtag is one of the movement’s mantras and is part of the initiative to subsidize legal support to those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace.
