Layla has confirmed that she and Kaitlyn once had genuine backstage issues during their time together in WWE, although she now considers the situation trivial in retrospect.
The two were on the roster together during Kaitlyn’s rise from developmental to the WWE main roster, which eventually led to her winning the Divas Championship. Kaitlyn recently stated that any past problems between them have long since been settled.
During a recent interview with Sportshadow, Layla reflected on their history and admitted that the disagreement was “so silly” when looking back on it now. She said,
“Kaitlyn and I did have drama. We have beef and that. I don’t know necessarily if it was because of, how she just quickly rose to TV because I also had that moment and kind of thing. I don’t, really, remember exactly what happened but, no, there were time. Yes, there were times, I think that I could have conducted myself and behaved a lot better towards Kaitlyn than I did, and I should have had a lot more empathy for her. Like I said, sometimes the environment in your mind at that time, it can bring out a side of you that was not right at that time, and, I’ve seen Kaitlyn and I apologized. I really did. I said I’m so sorry like that. I know I was wrong. I was out of line and the beef Kaitlyn and I had actually, like, opened the door for her because when her and Eve had that mishap at the Royal Rumble, right, I think something Kaitlyn said I heard, like, offended me kind of thing and it, like, was messing up our storyline. So, I think I was mad at the time, but my reaction to that basically opened the door for Kaitlyn’s career. So, I believe everything happens for a reason. Do I look back and go, “Oh, why’d you act like that?” Yes, absolutely. I didn’t deserve to be there. Kaitlyn is a great talent. She’s a great woman. So, I dare to explain it. I’m so happy that we got to speak it out and just let it be, and, it was so silly. So silly, when you look back at it, but at that time that’s how I felt, and I think how she felt it too. Yeah, completely understand that.”
