Former female writer sues WWE, Vince McMahon, and others for discrimination and termination

Apr 26, 2023 - by Colin Vassallo

A former WWE female writer has sued WWE, Vince McMahon, and other executives for allegedly discriminating and retaliating against her for objecting to “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” used in the scripts of black wrestlers.

The full list of people summoned were Ryan Callahan, Chris Dunn, Mike Heller, Christine Lubrano, Jennifer Pepperman, Stephanie McMahon, Vince McMahon, and WWE as a company.

The lawsuit, filed on Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, said that Britney Abrahams had multiple complaints ignored and was terminated from her job for taking home a WrestleMania chair.

Abrahams worked for WWE from 2020 to 2022 and the lawsuit continued saying that she was allegedly subject to a number of racist pitches after complaining. She was terminated from her job in April 2022 for taking with her a WrestleMania 38 branded chair, a practice the lawsuit said was a common practice that white male writers weren’t punished for.

Abrahams is seeking reinstatement, damages, declaratory judgment, and an injunction restraining defendants from engaging in such unlawful conduct according to BloombergLaw.com.

The case is 23-cv-03109 with The Cochran Firm representing Abrahams.

    Sounds like another case of the woke mind virus in action. I’d recommend the offended writer seek psychiatric help and possibly change career to another profession.

    Work mind virus in action, DB. You know, thanks to woke minds of the past, women got the right to vote (and hold jobs other than secretary) and multiple civil rights laws were passed.
    But you just parrot on about Woke Mind Virus, while we all get a hearty laugh at you.

    “She was terminated from her job in April 2022 for taking with her a WrestleMania 38 branded chair, a practice the lawsuit said was a common practice that white male writers weren’t punished for.”

    This is what jumps out at me more than the other stuff. I mean, “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” and wrestling kinda go hand in hand. It isn’t needed in this day and age, but it still rears it’s ugly head from time to time.

    Standing up for natural rights existed long before the woke agenda was inflicted upon us recently. Disgruntled Jobber, I hope you get the help you need in curing your affliction. Best of luck.

    Sounds to me like this is her throwing out in public her BS defense, trying to convince others of more racist rhetoric being the reason for her termination. It could very well be a whole different reason she was fired, but this is HER excuse to try and get people on her side.
