Damian Priest Explains Why He Can Be A ‘Little Bit’ Forgiving Towards Crazy Fan Behavior

Damian Priest comments on fan behavior.

WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas was widely considered to be a nightmare for talent, who were often swarmed by fans at the hotel or in the streets. Even outside of wrestling, irrational fan behavior has been an issue for years now.

Speaking with Chris D Comedy for a new interview, Damian Priest admitted that he can be slightly forgiving towards some fans.

“There’s a lot of passionate fans, let’s say that. I get it, when you’re so passionate about something, you kinda forget how to act normal. You forget just common decency and you invade people’s space and what not. It’s not out of maliciousness, it’s just out of passion. You kind of forget where you are because you kind of lose control of your functions. I do forgive it a little bit, but I’m not saying that it’s also okay [to the point] that I’m happy when it’s happening. It’s a part of it. To anyone who’s in a celebrity type of role, if you’re going to complain about being approached by fans, then you chose the wrong industry.”
