Adrienne Lawrence, a former anchor at ESPN, has filed a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit against the company. She is claiming that they did not address her complaints against being harassed by several employees.
One of them is Coachman, who worked at ESPN from 2008-2017.
He recently returned to WWE to work as a commentator for “Raw.” You can see an interview regarding his return below:
From the report:
According to the suit, male executives and talent at ESPN “keep ‘scoreboards’ naming female colleagues they are targeting for sex.” It also alleges that men openly watch porn on their computers and have made comments in Lawrence’s presence like wondering what Rihanna must “taste like.”
Among many mentioned in the suit are Chris Berman, the longtime face of the network, former “SportsCenter” anchor Jonathan Coachman and popular analyst and journalist Bomani Jones.
“The Coach” has yet to respond. We will continue to monitor this story and provide more updates as they become available to us.
Editor’s Opinion:
This type of behavior is never acceptable. I am glad we are living in an era where women are finally having the power and courage to speak up against the wrongs that have been committed against them; it is the only way that we can change our culture.
