Former three-time WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee (Mendez) is having her autobiography “Crazy is my Superpower” developed to air on A&E.
The autobiography was written in 2017 and has gone on to become a New York Times Best Seller. Since then, it had been mentioned that it would turn into a show. Since then, not much was heard about the project up until now when Mendez mentioned that it was still being developed and will air on A&E.
“It was an interesting struggle at first because I am the most private person in the world. I share nothing. I’m a brick wall. When you do have a lot of people listen to you, the things you say matter. There is value in that and you have to be considerate. I was willing to share this life lesson I learned embracing my mental health struggles. That’s a piece of me I’m willing to share with the world, if it can help other people. My book is very much about growing up in poverty, growing up homeless, and not understanding the mental illness that was getting in my body and within my family. Really starting to embrace these things in the world seen as negatives and turning them into armor and weapons and making them my greatest strengths. That’s been a huge part of my creative process, embracing this weird fucked up mind that I have,” said Mendez.
This came up while speaking with TheComicon along with Aimee Garcia about their “Day of the Dead Girl” project. Mendez and Garcia have previously worked on a GLOW comic together.
Additional information about Mendez’s memoir on A&E is not known at this time. It was recently reported that she will appear in an upcoming film “Sacramento” which features Michael Angarano, Michael Cera, and Kristen Stewart.
