I really hope you are right, because I have really been enjoying MJF lately.

The British government has started to take notice of what is going on and has set up an All Party Parliamentary Group for Wrestling that will investigate British wrestling.

The good news?

If this gets bumped up to a Parliamentary committee all evidence to a sitting Parliamentary committee is considered privileged and not subject to libel/slander, and reporting what has been said is covered under privilege as well.

Who the gently caress asks a 16 YEAR OLD about sleeping alone?!? How in the gently caress does he thinks this is what 16 year olds want to hear from an old rear end man?

That doctor should have never saved his rear end.

The reason is Vince really, really, really doesn't care if his employees gently caress teenagers.

Is it me or does it feel like there would have been more of an effort made to make the screenshots a smoking gun if it were fake? I'm not saying I think one is more likely just yet, but do we know yet if the girl's profile had her age? (Unless I missed something, the messages didn't.)

I think that logic works either way. Someone could be trying too hard or trying too little. Ultimately you gotta just take it for whatever evidence comes forward, I guess.

The reality of it being Lawler of course is that we KNOW this is who he is so there's not really a question of that. Its just a question of if there's a new victim.

In a later reddit post he said his sister’s age was in her bio and that she constantly posted about high school.

So he’s playing both “I did it and I feel so guilty about it that I’ve changed my life and found Jesus” and “I didn’t do it and now I’ll see you in court”

What?

(I didn’t watch his hour long bullshit thing so if he came up with some other reason for being Born Again I guess it’s irrelevant)

yeah if being an old creep was illegal then like 90% of people that went to the restaurant i used to work at would be in jail

from the original poster, he never said anything directly soliciting sex or similar, he was "just" being a pervert. they mention not having anything chargeable which sounds about right for someone who already had a close call

Not to backseat mod, but I REALLY hope that everyone (here and elsewhere, but especially reporters) makes sure to understand that Ryan naming the accusers whose allegations were shared by Sierra Loxton doesn't mean that anyone else should be. It doesn't matter how easy it is or isn't to find.

https://rajah.com/node/joey-ryan-files-multi-million-dollar-lawsuit-against-three-his-speakingout-accusers posted:

-- After being accused by multiple women in the #SpeakingOut movement earlier this year, Joey Ryan has filed a lawsuit against three of the women in US court, claiming their false allegations has caused him not only significant financial losses, but has damaged his reputation. In total, Ryan is seeking $15 million in damages by contending the following loss of revenue (separate from his claims of losing social media followers on Twitter and Instagram.


$1500 per month from distribution and streaming services and $2000 per event with two events per month with Bar Wrestling

$1000 per month in merchandising

$3000 per month with Patreon

$500 per month with Cameo

$1000 per month plus subscription shares and tips from subscribers with Twitch

$8000 to $10000 per month in booking fees related to other wrestling events


-- Ryan is seeking $200,000 from each of the three women for each month (since June) for economic damages, $5 million in non-economic damages and $10 million for punitive and exemplary damages.

Those certainly are some numbers 👀

i don't know why he would do this after putting out a lovely half-apology. i understand he didn't claim all of his actions in that video but still. i'm glad he's a dumb rear end so that there's less of a chance of harassing and preying on his victims further. just leave them alone.

It’s a pretty common tactic unfortunately. He’ll ask for more money than any of those women have or are willing to risk and then say he’s willing to accept a very small settlement to end it so that he can publicly claim he won.

It wasn’t a sexual assault case but that Covington Catholic dipshit did the same kind of thing with CNN and WaPo. He was never going to win his cases but his family had enough money to drag it out to the point that the media outlets’ commercial insurance carriers were willing to settle for less to make it go away. Essentially they could pay a couple hundred thousand to win or pay like 75k to make the kid piss off.

Joey’s trying the same thing on a significantly smaller level. He’ll probably settle for a couple thousand for the purpose of then being able to say he’s vindicated by the fact that they settled.
