WWE: Brock Lesnar accused of sexual harassment by diva Terri Runnels
WWE star and former UFC champion Brock Lesnar has been accused of a lewd act involving a female colleague in the dressing room.
Brock Lesnar has been accused of sexual harassment by legendary WWE diva Terri Runnels.
Runnels, 53, alleged Lesnar exposed himself to her backstage at a WWE event.
“I don’t have a lot of respect for Brock, I don’t think Brock respects wrestling fans,” she said on KEE on Sports Podcast.
“Brock did something that if it was in today’s day and time ... you know.
“He showed his penis to me and called my name as I was walking past where he was in the dressing room and opened his towel so I could see his manly bits.
“I would have much rather him not be so disrespectful of a female that’s been in this business for as long as I have been.
“He knew he was gonna have a lot of power, that they were gonna give him the strap but at that point, I’d been in this business a long time.
“I have respect and what he did was very wrong. From a respect standpoint, from a sexual harassment standpoint, it was wrong.”
A host of British and American wrestling stars have been accused of sexual assault and harassment over the past week as part of the #SpeakingOut social media movement.
Runnels previously made these claims against Lesnar, who is married to ex-WWE female superstar Sable, during an interview back in 2004.
WWE released a statement last week amid the outbreak of allegations from female performers past and present within the industry.
“We take any allegation of this nature very seriously and are looking into the matter,” it read.
All Elite Wrestling’s Sammy Guevara has also been suspended for past comments he made stating he “wanted to rape” Sasha Banks back in 2016.
