WWE star Liv Morgan, known in the ring for her fierce persona, recently made headlines for a different reason. The 29-year-old wrestler, whose real name is Gionna Daddio, was arrested in Sumter County, Florida, for marijuana possession and related charges. Despite the serious nature of the arrest, fans have taken to social media to comment on her mugshot, with many calling it “sexy” and expressing admiration for her appearance even in such circumstances.

The Arrest and Charges
Morgan was pulled over by the police due to her erratic driving. During the stop, officers detected the smell of marijuana and subsequently found drugs in her vehicle. She was arrested for possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams), possession of drug paraphernalia, and possibly synthetic cannabinoids. Morgan was released later that evening on a $3,000 bail. She is scheduled to appear in court on February 12, 2024, at the Sumter County Courthouse. In Florida, possession of marijuana under 20 grams is considered a misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail or a probationary sentence with a $1,000 fine.
Fans’ Unusual Reaction
What has caught the public’s attention is not just Morgan’s arrest but the reaction to her mugshot. Typically, mugshots are not flattering photos, but fans have flooded social media, particularly the platform formerly known as Twitter, with remarks about how attractive Morgan looks in her booking photo. Some fans have even adopted the image as their profile picture, celebrating her looks rather than the circumstances of the photo.
The Impact on Her Career
Liv Morgan is currently sidelined due to a shoulder injury, and she has described this period as a challenging time for her. She has been trying to keep herself occupied with enjoyable activities. However, this arrest marks a significant and undoubtedly stressful event in her life. It remains to be seen how this incident will affect her professional wrestling career and her personal life.
The incident highlights the complex relationship between celebrities and their fans, where even a serious event like an arrest can be overshadowed by the celebrity’s public image. While some might find the adulation of her mugshot trivializing the seriousness of drug charges, it also speaks to the strong connection and loyalty fans feel towards Morgan. As the legal process unfolds, the wrestling community and her fans will be watching closely, hoping for a resolution that allows Morgan to return to the ring.
