One of the names that Lee didn't name belonged to a wrestler whom she said "aggressively courted" her during her WWE tenure. Unsurprisingly, WWE is no different from any other work environment in some ways, meaning that it's often a hostile place for women. Lee, like countless other women who have worked for the company, was forced to deal with unwanted advances from male colleagues.

In Lee's case, the situation was complicated by two additional factors - first of all, the wrestler in question was already dating another woman in the company, which led to the unnamed girlfriend holding a strong grudge against Lee. AJ also noted that due to the political influence of the wrestler in question, she was worried that turning him down would adversely affect her career. Ultimately, though, she did turn him down, and he took it well.
