WWE News: Lilian Garcia issues statement regarding fake release news

Lilian Garcia has been a WWE ring announcer since 1999

A few days ago, rumors were spreading via social media which hinted the release of the “Decade Diva” of WWE, Lilian Garcia. Although, hours later it was confirmed that WWE has not released the veteran ring announcer. As this situation possibly pointed towards a miscommunication between the two parties, dailywrestlingnews.com report that, Lilian cleared such confusions by issuing a statement in her official Facebook account :

Imagine my surprise today when I woke up to find out that I was among the top trends in the world on twitter! Does that say “Lilian Garcia released from WWE”?? That’s when I knew I had to set the story straight. As you know, I have been absent from TV for the past few weeks due to a family member being ill. Well, that family member is my father. He has been battling bladder cancer and multiple Myeloma (blood cancer) and due to a reaction to the chemotherapy, he became very ill these past two weeks. As you can imagine, my entire family has been through a rollercoaster of emotions and cherishing all the time we have with him. I truly believe in the power of prayer and ask all of you to please pray for him.

I want to thank all of you for the many messages you have tweeted & FB’d me when you thought I had been released. It truly shows me how much I matter to you, and right now more than ever, I needed to know that. I feel so proud to work for WWE that cares so much about me.

So, on to Monday, I will be back on RAW and couldn’t be happier as I have missed you all very much!! Thank you and I love you!!!

Xoxo,Lilian
