"Former WWE Wrestler Accuses Vince McMahon of Sexual Predation in Unreleased Statement"

In a previously unreleased statement, former WWE wrestler Ashley Massaro accused company founder Vince McMahon of sexually preying on female wrestlers and punishing her for rejecting his advances by giving her bad scripts meant to destroy her reputation. Massaro also alleged that McMahon made vulgar sexual comments to make her uncomfortable and that management covered up her claim of being raped on a WWE tour in Kuwait. The statement was part of a lawsuit concerning concussions, and while WWE denied knowledge of the rape allegation, a lawyer for a former executive stated that upper management was aware of it. McMahon recently resigned from TKO, WWE's parent company, after being named in a civil sex-trafficking suit, which he and another defendant have denied.
