Former WWE star and Brock Lesnar’s wife, Sable had filed a legal case against the company for sexual harassment and unsafe work conditions. As reported by WrestlingNews.co, Steve Fall’s Ten Count recently spoke with former WWE star and Sable’s ex-husband Marc Mero.
In 1999, Sable filed a $110 million lawsuit against WWE for sexual harassment and unsafe work conditions. Both Sable and the WWE settled outside the court. Sable walked out on the company only to return in 2003.
Mero recalled when Sable decided that she wanted to go back to work for WWE. He said that Sable had to apologize to stars such as WWE Hall of Famers The Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin:
“And I’ll never forget she said to me, I think she was just getting a little, just disappointed with her Hollywood career. And she said, ‘What do you think about me going back to the WWF?’ And I said, ‘Oh, my gosh, absolutely not after suing them after everything we’ve been through. I know that the other wrestlers are disgruntled, you’re not going to be liked there. I can tell you right now, Vince will never take your phone call.’ And she said, ‘I already called them’ and I was blown away.
He added:
“But still supported her like if that’s what you want to do, I’ll stay home and take care of our daughter and so she went back to wrestling and she had to apologize to certain people. I think it was The Undertaker or Stone Cold or certain people. Vince made sure that she apologized because a lot of people were upset that she was coming back. She did that and made amends and went back and you know, had to do what Vince asked her to do. And, you know, then, unfortunately, you know, she fell in love with another wrestler, and while we were still married, and found out about it, and that’s when I filed for divorce and moved on in my life.”
