TNA star Masha Slamovich is now facing serious accusations that go far beyond the wrestling ring. Slamovich, known for her brutal in-ring style, has been accused of domestic violence by her former partner, independent wrestler AKIRA. The allegations surfaced after AKIRAs current manager posted screenshots of alleged text conversations and graphic photos on social media.
The messages began with Masha telling AKIRA he could keep the dogs because they were in his name. AKIRAs response hinted at a deeper issue: You hit me. Youre wrong.
Masha justified her actions by blaming his words: You cursed at me thats why you got hit. Again, cool to see you claim intelligence and cant see metaphor.
Later that night, AKIRA sent a message apologizing for speaking up, saying he didnt want to fight and just wanted her to stop stressing.
Masha fired back with more emotional frustration, claiming he didnt know how to help her and that she was embarrassed to be paired with him in the ring.
She explained her state of mind and claimed he made things worse:
AKIRA replied that he was only trying to stop her from breaking her expensive glasses, expressing that he was emotionally drained and didnt see the relationship improving.
Masha responded by saying that apologies werent enough and accused him of provoking her during an emotional spiral.
AKIRAs manager also posted photos of visible injuries allegedly inflicted by Masha, including facial bruises, damaged lips, and marks on his hands. Alongside the images, they wrote:
At the time of this writing, Masha Slamovich has not publicly responded to the accusations. The disturbing messages and images have sparked online discussion around abuse in relationships regardless of genderand the mental health needs of talent in the wrestling industry.
This situation has ignited serious concerns about how domestic conflict is handled in the wrestling world and how the industry supports performers in emotionally charged environments.
