WWE, McMahon Sued For 'Racist' Scripts

World Wrestling Entertainment and Vince McMahon are being sued by a former writer over alleged “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” in scripts. The complaint was filed this week on behalf of Britney Abrahams. Abrahams, a Black woman, worked for WWE Smackdown! and WWE Monday Night RAW in 2020. According to the complaint, Abrahams objected to the use of racist and stereotypical language in scripts for Black wrestlers like Bianca Belair and Apollo Crews, but claims her complaints were ignored. Abrahams ended up being fired by the WWE in April 2022 for taking a WrestleMania 38 branded chair. She says the move was in retaliation as she continued to object to racist and sexist story ideas and pitches. She said the practice of taking chairs was “common” and that white male writers were not punished for it.
