By 1999, Sable was one of the biggest stars in the WWF. Having posed for Playboy (in one of the biggest-selling issues in the history of that particular magazine) and after showing ample flesh on wrestling television, Sable had gone from cheer-leading valet to her then-husband Marc Mero, to a monster star in her own right. The WWF couldn't ignore what fans wanted to see, more Sable, and she became a featured member of the roster relatively quickly, far outshining Mero and splitting from him. After becoming the largest name in the women's division, Sable would confusingly depart the company in June, 1999, shockingly filing a $10 million lawsuit against the promotion. Citing sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions, Sable would eventually settle out of court with the WWF in August, before returning to the promotion years later in 2003. It was a little strange - sexual harassment is quite clearly a serious issue, but it did seem a little rich to be blaming the WWF for begging her to go topless, when Sable seemed only too happy to be flaunting her goods week-to-week.
