Road Warrior Animal's widow Kim Laurinaitis appeared on the Busted Open podcast this week to respond to the A&E Biography on the Road Warriors, saying she was never consulted and blindsided when it aired.

"I didn't even know that there was going to be an episode... I wanted to make sure that all of the family was going to be involved. And then their legal team took it and told us nothing. It went crickets. It's like a sucker punch."

Animal died on their wedding anniversary in 2018 after collapsing during what she described as a perfect day. She attempted CPR and spent years in therapy processing what followed.

"Sitting there laughing, and then falls right on top of you out of nowhere, and you're left trying to do CPR, and you question, did you do enough. I never understood PTSD until that day."
On who was featured: "I feel like he was totally disrespected. He would not have wanted to be on there. Period. And I feel like a couple of the people is like the pot calling the kettle black."

She named Bruce Prichard specifically: "I'll be quite honest, Bruce Prichard, I battled with him online lately, and he rips my husband on his podcast a lot of times, and I'm thinking, why are you even on here talking about him? We know you don't really care for it. I would have rather had people that had positive things to say and really meant them."

On Hawk: "Why can't we be kind? Why can't we talk about just good things? Hawk had so many other sides that were beautiful about him, and such a giving soul."

Stepdaughter Lindsay: "Wherever he went, he talked about his kids and his grandkids all the time. That was his drive for everything that he did in his life. That was who he was."

Kim: "Super smart man. My whole goal in life is just to keep honoring what he would want and what would make him happy."
