Due to the #SpeakingOut movement, many people have come forward to share their stories and call out wrestlers for sexual misconduct. WWE Superstar Ligero was among many who were accused and it seems he has spoken regarding his allegations.
Ligero took to Twitter and responded to the allegations against him. He stated that one account had no semblance of truth to it. He claimed that allegations brought by Violet O’Hara never took place and he denied them.
The current story that has been released by Violet O’Hara/Claire-Michelle Oldfield is neither accurate nor true. This is a completely false allegation and whilst I’ve done other things in my life that I deeply regret, this isn’t an accurate or truthful portrayal of events.
This is something I strongly deny and is something I’ve been in the process of speaking to a legal team about.
Regarding the other statements from people like Laura, Natalie who have spoken out about the way they were made to feel, and others that have come forward about unwanted messages, I have no excuse.
It’s inappropriate, it’s an embarrassment and it’s an absolute shameful way to act from someone in a position of trust. I sincerely apologise for my actions and any hurt I’ve caused.
I have no justification of my actions in the slightest. In these situations, I have failed people as a friend, as a fiancée and as a decent human being.
Ligero’s response was certainly different from Jordan Devlin, who outright denied all the allegations against him. WWE also released a statement regarding the accusations.
Individuals are responsible for their own personal actions. WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, child abuse and sexual assault.
Upon arrest for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately suspended. Upon conviction for such misconduct, a WWE talent will be immediately terminated.
WWE’s ability to fine, suspend or terminate a WWE talent will not be, however, limited or compromised in any manner in the event incontrovertible evidence of such illegal misconduct is presented to WWE.”
