Why did Jerry Lawler quit WWE due to Stacy Carter?

Stacy Carter’s exit from WWE in February 2001 is talked about to this day. Bruce Prichard revealed that the reason was due to her complaints about the ongoing storyline with the Right to Censor stable. It got her on the wrong side of the creative team, triggering Vince McMahon to let go of the star. Prichard and former commentator Jim Ross were present on the fateful day.

"We had gone out of the meeting and it came that Stacy had gone to some of the writers and was complaining about whatever they had to do that night and it was a constant battle that everything was a debate. And they came in and they said, 'well, we just want to end it' because it was difficult and they were done at that point.” (H/T Wrestling Inc)

Stacy Carter had recently exchanged wedding vows with Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler. Good Ol’ JR broke the news to Jerry about his wife’s release, which prompted him to quit WWE. He thought of joining WCW but wrestled independently until returning to WWE in November 2001.

The two eventually divorced in 2003 after three years of marriage. Stacy Carter later married Nicholas Cvjetkovich (Sinn Bodhi) in 2010 but they too separated three years later.
