This is the 49th post in our Celebrity of the Day series.
American born Mickie Laree James was born in 1979. She started her career with TNA on 2002, where she caught the attention of the WWE and was signed in 2005.
She is perhaps best known for the scandal she created with her stalker-like obsession with fellow wrestler Trish Stratus. The pair was a tag team together, which caused Mickie’s obsession to grow, even to the point where she dressed like her at Halloween. Trish left the tag team and their lesbian relationship for awhile, saying that they needed time apart.
When she returned, Mickie tried to kiss her, but Trish rejected her, causing the pair to break into a fight. Trish retired from wrestling soon after, and the obsession seemed to be over. Without Trish keeping her attention, Mickie was able to win the WWE Women’s Championship four times.
Outside of wrestling Mickie has appeared on the television series Psych and Celebrity Fit Club Boot Camp. She has even managed a few male wrestlers during her career, but seems satisfied with her current position on WWE RAW.
