Due to a sexual trafficking lawsuit that former WWE employee Janel Grant brought against him, Vince McMahon is involved in a very contentious issue. The court dispute has revealed more names and sparked worries among the wrestling community.
In light of McMahon’s incident, even former WWE Superstar Ashley Massaro has come under scrutiny. In an undisclosed statement, Massaro accused McMahon of being a predator.
Ashley Massaro stated in an openly available affidavit that WWE assisted in covering up the fact that she had been sexually abused at a military post in 2007 before her untimely death in 2019. WWE denied any misconduct at the time in a statement.
Tim Marchman of VICE News uncovered a statement excluded from Ashley Massaro’s finalized affidavit in her lawsuit against Vince McMahon it wasn’t relevant given that the lawsuit was about concussions.
It has been noted that Erica Mirabella, Massaro’s representative, explained it was omitted to focus on sexual assault and injuries. The statement details Massaro’s discomfort after her Playboy cover, Vince’s attempt to be alone in his hotel room, and him writing damaging promos to ruin her career. It also mentions Vince’s inappropriate comments. The statement was removed from the affidavit but provides insight into Vince’s alleged misconduct.
“Our colleagues ultimately decided we should focus only on the sexual assault and physical in-ring injuries Ashley sustained, so I discussed this with Ashley and she agreed that we could remove it, so it was deleted. We then finalized the affidavit, she signed it, and we submitted it to the court.”
You can check out Ashley Massaro’s previously unpublished statement below, which accuses McMahon of being a sexual predator and how he tried to sabotage her WWE career.
‘‘During my time with the WWE, I had observed Vince McMahon making-out with other divas in the locker room, but he never paid attention to me, and I assumed I was not his type. This changed after my Playboy cover was released. I was fortunate enough to be allowed to fly on the company jet and stay at the same hotels as the executives for a period of time so that I could get home faster to spend more time with my daughter. On one of these occasions, Vince was attempting to get me alone with him in his hotel room late at night and I felt extraordinarily uncomfortable. He began calling the hotel room phone and my cell phone nonstop.”
