Former NXT head trainer and WWE employee has taken to Twitter to respond to allegations stemming from his resignation from the company last week.
DeMott left the company after multiple allegations began flooding in regarding him harassing and abusing former NXT talent. It started with former talent Austin Matelson, but then flooded into several other accusers. Former head of WWE and WCW creative Vince Russo came to DeMott’s defense earlier this week, which the latter expressed thanks for:

He also responded to an accusation (which has documented photo evidence) that back in 2006, he forced former WWE star Luke Gallows to give Zack Ryder a “naked stinkface” after training in order to leave early:

DeMott was also made aware former WWE Superstar Scotty Goldman, also known popularly as Colt Cabana, was going after him. Cabana claims the former trainer used ethnic slurs against him related to him being of the Jewish religion. DeMott responded:

Former in-ring talent and current NXT commentator Jason Albert, real name Matt Bloom, has since taken over the training position in NXT. The company is expecting lawsuits to stem from the allegations, and is preparing to fight them.
Editor’s Note
It’s an ugly, ugly situation WWE needs to cool down immediately. I’m surprised there’s not even more heat over the “investigation” methods.
