A former WWE writer has filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming racial discrimination and a hostile work environment.
Britney Abrahams, a Black woman, said she was fired by WWE last year in retaliation for pushing back against racism as well as racist and stereotypical pitches in the writers' room, according to court documents. The suit was filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.
The complaint, written by Derek S. Sells of The Cochran Firm, lists the defendants as WWE itself, plus five backstage company employees and executives Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie McMahon no longer works for WWE, stepping down in January from her position as interim chairwoman and CEO.

ADL is probably behind this. The WWE, and the WWF before it, has always been proud supporters of black stars.
Wait, you’re telling me that the company that had a wrestler called “Sexual Chocolate” is racist?!?
I would imagine working in the Pro-Wrestling business would require you to have a tough-skin.
Isn't that the whole wwe??
It appeals to the lower educated layer of society.
Claiming that seems to be all the rage these days.
Pretty soon it’ll be all the rage to tell those claimants to STFU. Enough is enough. WWE is all about talking trash and going over the top. If you can’t handle it, work elsewhere.
The only person in the country who didn’t notice the WWF and WWE satirical caricatures of every type of person done in a crude and exaggerated way was rampant since the earliest days.
The cop one who read opponents their rights “You have the right to feel pain.” Randy Savage as a Macho Man.
Every ethnic and national origin slander they could suit to an outfit and have a manager mouth off about.
She just now noticed that.
The first thing that the left kills (assuming you survive the abortion) is the sense of humor. And the next thing to be obliterated is the ability to grasp irony.
Thank you even freepers have lost their humor
I find it humorous that WWE claims it has writers, as though the wrestling is scripted. LOL
Funny.
Exactly.
The guy who used to work in the top photo quit. “Every day it was just one dam thing after another.”
Yes it is scripted, the whole match is scripted by the boys days b4 the match, the moves are real tho
