Rhaka Khan comments on Kurt Angle, her future in TNA
Rhaka Khan (real name Trenesha Biggers) made her first public comments since ex-boyfriend Kurt Angle was arrested and charged with violating a protection from abuse order on Aug 15, telling a Pittsburgh television station that she doesn’t expect to continue working for TNA.
Biggers said Wednesday that Angle had displayed a pattern of physical abuse against her, leaving bruises and bite marks, over the past several months, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.
She later told Pittsburgh television station WPXI that she was told by someone in TNA’s talent relations department “that by filing the PFA that I was going to be forcing them to choose between the two of us. ... I knew that when I filed it. I knew that there was no way that I was probably going to be able to work there anymore.”
Biggers added that she might decide to leave TNA even if she isn’t let go. “I don’t know how I’m going to be around him anymore. I have forgiven him so many times for what he’s done to me, and I’ve been around him and been fine, but now, on top of everything that he’s done to me, he’s gone and slandered me through the media.”
Before Biggers’ comments had been reported, I asked TNA president Dixie Carter about Biggers’ status with the company during a phone interview Wednesday morning. “She is currently a TNA talent,” Carter said.
Wednesday’s PFA hearing was postponed because family court was overbooked, according to The Post-Gazette, and attorneys for both sides negotiated for some time without reaching an amicable resolution.
Angle told WPXI last week that Biggers filed the PFA against him on Aug. 15 because “she wanted to get married” and he did not. He said that they had been dating for “about nine or 10 months,” but that he had just broken up with her “for about the 10th time” and has asked her to move out of his house “50 or 60 times.”
After Biggers filed the PFA, Angle said that he voluntarily left his residence. Angle claimed that – unbeknownst to him – Biggers followed him to a Starbucks, and then called police and said that he was stalking her and violating the PFA order.
Angle learned Wednesday that he was able to return to his home, The Post-Gazette reported.

Kevin,
Biggers sure comes off looking very believable in this video.
Thoughts?

The word "talent" is used loosly here .

Not to point fingers, but I recall Ms. Biggers being a bit of a disruptance when she first came to TNA and flashing quite a bit of ego given that she isn't even a wrestler. I believe besides an overall bad backstage attitude there was something with trading cards. Regardless, this smells to me like a duplicitous woman trying to get her claws in for a payday or more and when Mr. Angle put the kabosh on it, well, ...this is what a woman can do to a man these days.

Look at her eyes when shes talking...whenever she talks about Kurt she looks to the upper left. This is a sign that she is lying. She's a lying golddigger. He should have kicked her to the curb a long time ago.
