10 Shocking Incidents Of Unprofessional Conduct In WWE
7. Harassing The Divas
It's always tough being the opposite sex in a work environment that is dominated by a specific gender. Practically since their rise to prominence on WWE TV, beginning with Sunny in the mid 1990s we've heard stories of the divas being forced to endure everything from discrimination to harassment and outright abuse. Perhaps it all began with the infamous "sh*t sandwich" story involving Sunny where Sean Waltman admits to leaving some excrement in her food. Rena Mero (now Lesnar) - who competed as Sable - sued the company for sexual harassment but returned to work just a few years later. Randy Orton's name shows up in these tales a lot. Amy Weber referred to him as a "dirtbag" in the same interview where she states she "left on account of pure harassment and being treated like a piece of dirt by some of the male wrestlers for no reason." Rochelle Loewen claims that The Viper vandalized her belongings with tanning lotion and baby oil over what she speculates was her unfamiliarity with him upon entering the company. She said he was "inappropriate and verbally abusive" and called him an "absolute animal." The most recent complaints come once again from NXT, where allegations have been made that the strength coach sexually harasses the female trainees. Dolph Ziggler's brother Ryan Nemeth tweeted the following in regards to the issue: Nothing "Hugh Morris" about enabling/protecting a sexual predator, or threatening jobs of women who complain about him." "At post-show meeting will someone please say "Hey bosses after you're done patting selves on the back-our strength coach is a huge pervert" "Is it true that the longer a guy gets away with sexual harassing and victimizing women at work, the better he is at designing workouts?" Unlike DeMott, this story is still ongoing as the coach is still employed.
