WWE has shown in the past that they have a zero tolerance policy when it comes to sexual assault allegations and domestic violence issues, and the company recently fired Enzo Amore after a woman accused him of sexual assault.
Now another WWE star has been accused of sexual misconduct, and it was reported that a former ESPN employee has filed a lawsuit against ESPN alleging that Coachman sexually harassed her when they both worked together at ESPN.
WWE has released a statement saying that they are investigating the matter, and now Jonathan Coachman has released a statement of his own.
Coachman is denying the allegations regarding sexual harassment, and he said that this is the only time he will address the matter.
Jonathan Coachman posted the following:
I will address this only once because I am seething today. In 21 years of being a PROFESSIONAL I have never been more offended in my life. I my 9 years I can count on one hand the amount of times I interacted with anyone other than a co-anchor. To allow someone to spread vicious https://t.co/4NYsZjK2C6

Lies and flat out fabrications is not ok and it’s time someone stood up for themselves. @jemelehill addressed her lie last night. I am not a part of this lawsuit because I have never done anything wrong. My reputation speaks for itself and anyone that has ever worked with me https://t.co/4NYsZjK2C6

Will back that up. I am also offended that someone can dangerously throw peoples names into something for the clear attempt at getting headlines. This the only time I will address this because I am not a part of this lawsuit. My heart goes out to anyone falsely accused of https://t.co/4NYsZjK2C6
