WWE star Liv Morgan opened up about her 2023 arrest in Florida and shared details about the incident.
The Women’s World Champion reflected on the situation and explained how a vape pen she claimed was unknowingly left in her vehicle led to her arrest. In December 2023, Morgan (real name Gionna Daddio) was arrested in Florida for possession of a synthetic cannabinoid and possession of marijuana.
Liv Morgan recalls being arrested after officers discovered a vape pen in her car
Earlier this year, Liv Morgan appeared on What’s Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon, where she discussed her 2023 arrest.
“So, I’m driving, and it’s like (imitating siren voice), and I’m like, ‘Huh?’ I’m like, ‘Oh, sh*t.’ I don’t even know I’m being pulled over because I’m like, ‘I’m not doing anything wrong.’ So, I get pulled over. I did have a little bit of marijuana in the car.”
Morgan admitted that there was marijuana in her vehicle, but claimed the vape pen that led to the felony charge was not hers.
“The issue was that, and this is facts, someone you know, I always have friends at my house. I always drive friends in my car. Someone will have a vape in my car, like a synthetic marijuana vape. And I’m not, like, a battery girl, you know what I mean? Like, I’m not going to use this vape. The vape is a felony. The vape is a felony in Florida. If you have a synthetic marijuana vape, that’s a felony, and you’re gonna go to jail ASAP Rocky.”
“They’re like, ‘Is there weed in the car?’ And I’m like, ‘Yeah.’ And they’re like, ‘Where is it?’ And I’m like, ‘Here.’ You know, it’s like in the weed, and they wanna do a full car search. And then they find this one vape pen that, unbeknownst to me, is in my car ’cause I don’t vape. But that was a felony. So, they arrest me.”
Liv Morgan opens up about her reaction to being arrested
Morgan also recalled officers going through her belongings after the arrest, including a personal journal containing her career goals.
“They go to my goal list, and it’s, like, so cute and innocent. It’s like, ‘Being in the WWE Hall of Fame.’ Like, ‘I wanna do some acting,’ you know what I mean? Like, they just read my goal list, and they’re laughing at me. They’re like, ‘Ha ha ha. Like this girl. Welcome to the real world.’”
She added that she immediately felt she was going to be arrested and tried her best to remain calm.
“I was like, ‘Oh, sh*t. I’m being arrested.’ And I was like, ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, ’cause you’re gonna take a mugshot.’ And then I’m like, ‘Just be nice, ’cause this body cam footage is gonna be released.’ So, I’m just like, ‘Yes, sir. No, sir. Yes, sir. No, sir. Am I arrested, sir?’ I would never be like, ‘I’m Liv Morgan, I’m from WWE.’ That’s not my style.”
Liv Morgan was booked for possession of marijuana and a controlled substance. The felony charge for the synthetic cannabinoid pen was later dropped due to insufficient testing evidence. She pled no contest to a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge and paid a fine before the case was closed.
