Not sure which drugs but the prostitution stories first surfaced as part of this article https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/the-sex-queen-of-l-a-230295/

Anything I've ever seen or read from her makes me think she is just the worst type of social media attention seeker so I wouldn't put it past her. A total clown.

Is that reby hardy ? I saw the table for 3 with her, angle and orton's wife's and she came across loud and abrasive. Orton has lucked out there btw.

Anyway very very sad news about Ashley Massaro dying. 39 is no age to be dying at. It said tragic death which could be taken several ways but I won't speculate.

The White Wolf · 17-05-2019 6:27pm

I find Reby Sky refreshing to be honest. She may be a **** but at least she wears that on her sleeve amongst a sea of fake media trained airheads.

RIP Ashley. Maria Kanellis put up a very touching tweet.

Agent Coulson · 17-05-2019 7:08pm

Very sad 39 years of age is so young and leaves behind a 19 year old daughter.

RIP.

Impact being Impact, they never signed Progress Women's Champion, Jordynne Grace to a deal, but she's been a free agent there the whole time.

WWE should sign her up. She's got a unique look, built like a female Rhyno. That's meant in the most complimentary way! She's jacked.

Anyone being released or wanting to be released from their contracts with X company will probably now be weighing up their options knowing the professional wrestling landscape is changing and that WWE isn't the be all, and end all it once was.

Like Bob Dylan said and titled his 3rd album, the times they are a-changin.

Her boyfriend (Killer Kross) asked for his release recently. Like a few there he has more suitors now than when he last signed a contract.
Above any company Impact can't afford to lose the names they have. She is quite popular for them online for obvious (men stop scrolling when they see her) reasons

It's a shocking read to be honest. This is one rotten example from reading the affidavit.

Vince did at least apologize for what I went through, but then stressed that if I disclosed this incident it would ruin the relationship between the WWE and the US Military.

brianregan09 · 20-05-2019 7:24pm

Every day I've less and less an interest in this horrible company , how Vince has avoided any sort of comeuppance for all the shady stuff this company has done or has gone through I'll never know but that story is some pretty damning and grim reading , Poor girl

Itssoeasy · 20-05-2019 7:59pm

Jesus h Christ that affidavit she gave is hard to read. If that had happened in today’s climate they wouldn’t have hushed it up. Also **** wwe and the us military’s connection. It’s the same with the NFL and the US military and that faux patriotism that’s become more prevalent in recent years.

Riddle101 · 21-05-2019 11:01am

Hopefully this will get out in the public now and got more media attention. WWE won't be able to avoid backlash from this.

Necro · 21-05-2019 11:51am

That's absolutely disgraceful. Hopefully Vince finally gets dragged into the open about this. What a scumbag. It's also another death knell in my interest in pro wrestling tbh

sky88 · 21-05-2019 11:58am

sadly its not just pro wrestling with these stories especially if the military are involved horrific stuff

sirmanga · 21-05-2019 12:06pm

A horrible read. Although, it would be interesting to see if Maria and others would corroborate the story. Right now, all we have is the word of a dead woman. And she later reached out to WWE to apologise. I wouldn't be so quick to call out WWE on this just yet.

This should absolutely be called out, if it were any other company it'd be called out, why should the WWE be excluded and when you've the owner actively encouraging her not to report the what happened to her cause military & patriotism, to hell with it.

Maybe she apologized out of regret for being dragged into said lawsuit. Also if you believe this, WWE only found out about the affidavit after she had passed. Which I find very difficult to believe.

What I mean is, if it turns out the story is indeed true, WWE should be called out, but not until then.

Right now, all we have is the affidavit from a dead women. And it relates to a court case that WWE won.

It's dangerous to simply take a story at face value, even as horrific as Ashley's.

It should absolutely be called out and hopefully the same scrutiny is put on the WWE that smaller companies faced over similar issues.

Then again Vince and co have previous, even in just recent memory, of brass necking their way through controversy when it suits them. Jimmy Snuka and the Saudi shows just two examples of same.

leggo · 22-05-2019 8:28am

Why are people arguing with the guy who says "it should be called out IF TRUE"? Are people actually arguing "I don't care if it's true, I don't like WWE anyway so I'm willing to accept it at face value..." Would you hold a company or person you like to the same kind of scrutiny? That's a horrible attitude to have tbh: "I don't like you for my own reasons therefore I'm willing to accept anything anyone says about you to validate that, no matter how horrific that is, I don't need proof."

This was in court. It's the word of someone who reportedly had serious addiction issues. Addicts are known for having a difficult relationship with the truth. She names witnesses, some of whom aren't involved with WWE now, who can come out and confirm it. WWE won that court case and she sent an apology to them afterwards. So it's gone through the courts and WWE's innocence has been proven.

weareallmarks · 22-05-2019 9:34am

This was exactly what I was going to write but wasnt interested in taking the barrage of abuse that would go with it.

Everyone should find court documents, timelines and interviews of the people involved before jumping to conclusions. I understand that it would be the only excercise alot of you get, but maybe searching for truth instead of jumping on the first thing might be a good idea.

Exactly. There is a lot to criticise WWE for, such as grabbing money from the blood soaked hands of the Saudis.
But an unverified story of a brutal assault from over a decade ago, that has no supporting evidence, and an affidavit from a now deceased woman who later apologised to the company she was suing? No, you simply can't use this as another example of WWE's callousness. Unless more evidence comes to light, this is nothing more than an allegation without evidence.

Lithium93_ · 22-05-2019 12:30pm

May have been a bit hasty in jumping with what I posted, emotionally jumped the gun after what I read in the affidavit yesterday.

It's funny that weareallmarks said this

That could be flipped around on those who continue to believe the bull**** peddled about Michael Jackson. Yet somehow people still continue to buy into the inconsistent narrative peddled against him.

But that's off-topic.

weareallmarks · 22-05-2019 1:26pm

re jacko (off topic) there are court docs that have been sealed after he paid off alleged victims. over 200 mil paid to families. Very different, docs are SEALED in those cases!

In the Massaro case, all is easily accessible but people are deeeeelighted to hop off 1 story and not investigate.
But at the end of the day, the poor woman felt the best option was to take her own life. Very sad

AJ Styles has signed his last contract with WWE, which he revealed in an interview with Newsweek.

I can tell you that this contract that I’ve signed is my last. This is the perfect place for me to be. It’s family-oriented, I have no problem taking my family to the shows. It’s a PG product, which I enjoy. I’m in the best place I can be for my career.

J. Marston · 23-05-2019 12:47am

WWE have given a statement on the Ashley rape allegations...

We reached out to WWE about the 2006 affidavit that included a claim by Ashley Massaro that she was sexually assaulted in 2006 while on tour in Kuwait. WWE issued the following response:

“WWE is saddened by the death of Ashley Massaro, and we reiterate our condolences to her family. However, we regret that her attorney Konstantine Kyros, who filed multiple cases against WWE, lost all of them, and was sanctioned multiple times by the Court for repeated misconduct and false allegations, is using Ashley’s death to further his malicious campaign against WWE by releasing an affidavit that she submitted to the Court and later apologized to WWE for being involved with, so we wish to make certain things crystal clear.

1. At no time was Vince McMahon or the management of WWE ever informed by Ashley Massaro or anybody else that she had been sexually assaulted, drugged, raped or sodomized by a military doctor with a nurse standing guard while on a goodwill tour in 2007 to U.S. military bases in Kuwait. In fact, if she ever articulated such a claim to WWE, we would have reported it immediately to the Base Commander.

2. At no time was there ever a meeting with Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, John Laurinaitis or other company executives in which she told them of such a claim and was instructed to keep it quiet.”

https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/wwe-statement-on-sexual-assault-claims-made-in-2016-by-ashley-massaro/

Quite a hostile denial of any wrongdoing on their end.

How is it nasty?! They have to acknowledge this because it’s a huge accusation that can do so much damage so quickly, they didn’t ask for this to happen! Also the rebuttal is aimed at her lawyer, who does have a hard-on for getting WWE and is likely to go back to this well, while remaining respectful of her.

Also, worth keeping in mind, she apologised for this!!! I’m wary of saying stuff like “Are those the actions of a victim?” because those comments are usually so far off base, but come on. Why go back and apologise if what you’re saying is true?

People want to believe what they want to believe about WWE and will just ignore all evidence that challenges that. This is why we have courts, judges and due process instead of letting the public make decisions. Again, all it takes is one person involved to come out and corroborate her story. She’s named several of them. So far? None. I hope nobody here ever gets hit with accusations like this and I hope that, if you do, people give you more of a chance to defend your innocence than you’re giving WWE here. Maybe then you’ll understand how messed up what you’re doing is.

23-05-2019 9:16am

I'm surprised at that statement from WWE because I assumed there was at least some truth in the affidavit in which case I would have expected them to keep shtum. For them to come out so strongly is unexpected.

sky88 · 23-05-2019 9:21am

honestly just seems like a standard corporate denial statement from lawyers any company would write

sirmanga · 23-05-2019 9:25am

I don't see why people are saying WWE's response is nasty. None of us know if Ashley was telling the truth, so WWE is entitled to defend itself from such a horrible story.

If the company had remained silent, the same people calling them nasty would be calling them out for their silence.

Well given that she signed that affidavit under penalties of perjury (which is a federal offence), you'd want to assume/hope/think she was telling the truth for her sake, otherwise she'd have been looking at 5 years in prison. That said it does vary on a State by State basis in the States.

That still doesn't mean she was telling the truth. If all someone has to do to prove they are telling the truth is submit an affidavit, then there would be no need for courts
