Liv Morgan has opened up about her arrest in 2023.
While away from WWE due to recovering from injury, news broke that Liv Morgan had been arrested for possession of marijuana in Florida and suspected possession of a possibly synthetic cannabinoid. The second offence was considered to be a felony according to Florida state law and there was a possibility that Morgan could have faced jail time as a result of the offence.
Eventually, Liv Morgan’s case was closed with the potential felony charge being dropped and the Raw star issuing a Nolo-Contendere for the charge of being in possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana. Morgan was ordered to pay a $543 fine for the minor offence.
The arrest came up in conversation while Morgan appeared as a guest on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast. Recalling the arrest and the next day, Morgan stated that she called talent relations and showed up to work the next day as if nothing happened:
“As the world knows, I did have a run in with the law. It is all cleared up now. I’m not guilty. Let me take a moment, I can’t make light of the situation. I was in a situation where, there were things in my car that I was unaware of. One of those things was a felony. I got arrested, I bailed out, and I called work right away. My bail call was work.
“I called our head of talent relations, Dan. I explained what happened. He was like, ‘Alright, we’ll figure this out. Stay hushed, go to work tomorrow, don’t tell anyone, do your thing.’ I go to work to do rehab and I’m so guilty and feeling so shameful. I don’t want work to be mad at me. I do a lot of community work in WWE. ‘I just ruined everything on something that was my fault, but not my fault.’ I have to take responsibility, it’s my car, I take full responsibility for it. I showed up to work [happy face], I saw you [Logan] and we had a normal conversation, you would have never known. It was SmackDown and news broke that night.”
“I Thought I Had Ruined Everything”: Liv Morgan
Continuing, Morgan opened up about her worries and anxieties following the arrest and how she was concerned that it would lead to the end of her wrestling career:
“I was okay. What I already said was, I didn’t want to lose my standing at work. I didn’t want them to think that I was this criminal. I had worked so hard to get in the position I was in, and I thought I had ruined everything. I was upset. I thought I ruined my career.”
According to reports, there was no heat on Morgan for the arrest.
