WWE and Jonathan Coachman Comment On Allegations

As noted, Jonathan Coachman is one of several ESPN employees named in a sexual discrimination and harassment lawsuit filed against the company on Sunday by former ESPN anchor and legal analyst Adrienne Lawrence. WWE issued us this statement regarding Coachman being nameud in the lawsuit:

“We take these matters very seriously and are investigating.”

In the suit, Lawrence claimed that Coachman employed the “ESPN predators’ playbook,” in which he offered to mentor her after she had reached out, but then tried turning the relationship personal. She alleged that colleagues told her that Coachman sexually harassed other female employees at ESPN, including former SportsCenter anchor Sara Walsh. She communicated to Coachman that she had a boyfriend, and claims to have not heard back from him after that.

Jonathan Coachman also took to Twitter this morning and made comments. Among those he said that they were false and the truth would come to light. Here are his tweets:

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

Anything. Trust me it doesn’t feel good. But most of you have been incredible and supportive. Onward and upward. https://t.co/4NYsZjK2C6

My Thoughts:

I find it interesting WWE released this comment, not because I don’t feel they should. However because no comment has been released on Roman Reigns. I believe we all hope this is a false allegation, because if it’s real that means everyone involved will get hurt.
