Vince McMahon sexually preyed on female wrestler Ashley Massaro shortly before she killed herself: report
NY Post
A WWE star claimed that Vince McMahon preyed on female wrestlers and destroyed her career after turning down his advances in an affidavit shortly before killing herself, according to bombshell report.
Ashley Massaro, who accused the disgraced wrestling mogul and other WWE executives of covering up her alleged rape on an army base in Kuwait while on tour in 2006, committed suicide in 2019.
In a previously unreleased statement she gave to her lawyers before her death, which was obtained by VICE News, Massaro alleged that McMahon propositioned her for sex.
The statement was not included in a lawsuit Massaro and others filed against the WWE because the case concerned concussions, Vice reported Friday.
However, it resurfaced just days after federal authorities launched an investigation into sex trafficking allegations leveled against McMahon by a former WWE staffer, Janel Grant, who suit the longtime wrestling kingpin last month.
McMahon, who resigned as chairman and CEO of WWE in the wake of Grant’s lawsuit, has denied Grant’s allegations.
