Former WWE Superstar Jimmy Wang Yang is best known to fans for his fun-loving “Asian Redneck” persona and his comedic timing. However, in a new exclusive interview on “The Velvet Ropes with SoCal Val,” Yang revealed that his real-life upbringing was far darker and more difficult than anyone knew.

Yang recently released his autobiography, “James Yun: Yun’s Time,” a project that he admits took him nearly two decades to complete. When asked why he finally decided to put his story on paper, Yang explained that close friends had urged him to share his history, even though he was initially ashamed of it.

“For years, people very close to me that know my real history, about growing up and before wrestling, like, they always suggested me to write a book,” Yang said. “But you know how it is, honestly, I… I don’t know if I want to put it out there, because I actually was pretty embarrassed about my childhood.”

Yang then shared the heartbreaking details of his family life that he had kept hidden for so long. “My dad left, like, at nine, and he chose his new wife over his kids,” Yang revealed.

He also dropped a shocking detail about his mother’s situation. “My mom’s in a religious cult. Like, so, like, Yeah, seriously,” he stated.
