A massive detail has emerged in the controversial Ashley Massaro story. It has been noted that a friend of Massaro claimed that Stephanie McMahon was aware of the allegations.
In a legal document that was made public by her attorney back in 2019, Ashley Massaro made claims that she had a disturbing encounter during a WWE trip to Kuwait in 2006, where she alleged she was assaulted by an individual posing as a U.S. Army doctor.
Massaro stated that she informed WWE management about the incident, but was advised to keep quiet to maintain the company’s relationship with the military. WWE, however, disputed this claim. Recently, there have been emerging reports challenging WWE’s denial. A lawyer representing John Laurinaitis stated that Vince McMahon and other executives were aware of the incident.
Cara Pipia, a close friend of Massaro, spoke to News Nation, asserting that Stephanie McMahon was also allegedly informed about the assault. Pipia mentioned that Massaro felt intimidated and received no sympathy or support.
She spoke with Vince McMahon many times. Vince had his daughter [Stephanie] take his place because she was a female, a woman, and to make Ashley comfortable. And they just played with her. They played with her because everything that Stephanie said made her feel comfortable. Safe. As soon as they walked into this board room meeting, Ashley was on her own completely. And she was threatened, and there was no… there was no compassion. There was no sympathy. There was nothing.
Furthermore, an earlier-unreleased statement from Ashley Massaro came to light, in which she accused Vince McMahon of acting inappropriately against female wrestlers. According to Massaro, McMahon would discredit their reputations by purportedly proposing female talent and, if rejected, retaliating with bad scripts.
The statement claims that Massaro saw McMahon acting inappropriately toward female wrestlers in the locker room and that following her appearance in Playboy, he singled her out and made her feel very uncomfortable.
The message also implied that McMahon had previously acted in a similar manner, citing an incident involving a different former WWE Diva.
