New Delhi(Agencies):The #SpeakingOut
movement is gaining pace as several wrestlers have been called out for alleged
sexual misconduct. Multiple women have narrated stories about their horrible
experiences with wrestlers from several companies like WWE, AEW, NWA. Stories
have been trending with the hashtag #SpeakingOut as several women have accused
wrestling figures of sexual misconduct.
One of the wrestlers accused of sexual assault is WWE 205
Live superstar Jack Gallagher. A woman named Becky narrated her experience with
Gallagher, saying that he sexually assaulted her when she refused his advances.
“I never thought this
is something I would say publicly, but I want others to know that they never
need to be ashamed and should feel like they can tell their stories,’ said the
woman.
During the “#SpeakingOut” campaign, a large number of
professional wrestlers and other people in the business have been accused of
sexual misconduct.
In the midst of the controversy, WWE has announced the
release of Gallagher from the company.
‘WWE has come to
terms on the release of Jack Gallagher (Jack Claffey),’ said the tweet.
Responding to Becky’s tweet, another woman named Tori also
revealed another horrific story involving Gallagher.
“We don’t know each
other but Jack raped one of my best friends. I’ve been angrily sitting on that
for a long time but she hasn’t been ready to tell her story.”
WWE superstars like Jordan Devlin, Travis Banks, Joe Coffey,
Matt Riddle, and former NXT UK champion Tyler Bate are also facing varying
allegations.
WWE released the statement regarding these allegations
saying that it has “zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence,
child abuse, and sexual assault.”
“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,” WWE added in the
statement.
