The new Harvey Weinstein? For those who don’t know who he is, he’s the one time owner of the WWE. He inherited it from his dad in the early 80s and turned it into a billion dollar monolith of a company and only recently sold it to the same company that owns the UFC. A larger than life character, he was on screen a lot of the time over the years and is synonymous with wrestling as the most important figure to ever exist in the business.
Anyway, he’s just been named in a shocking lawsuit where he’s alleged to have seeex trafficked a girl he hired and did all sorts of nasty things to her

Among some horrific claims he’s alleged to have defecated on the woman’s head during a threeesome with another guy and forced her to sleep with other wrestlers.
If true, what an absolute scuuumbag.

Just like you were all sure Greenwood was satan himself and had r8p3d every living being
Tate just needed to look at a woman and it was assault
Mendy had r8p3d every woman in the UK etc
----------------------------
There's a valid point about deferring judgement about criminal accusations. But if you're depicting those three individuals as victims of witch hunts, we should remind ourselves that there's undisputed material in the public record that condemns Tate and Greenwood. Tate has himself released plenty of material that encourages horrific exploitation and dehumanisation of women, and describes manipulating women into sеx work for his personal enrichment. Whether the ongoing prosecution on very serious charges leads to a guilty verdict, we're entitled to make moral judgements based on his own freely broadcast words.
We can also draw our own conclusions from the appalling audio of Greenwood. Not about whether the charges pressed against him were valid, but about the bullying cruelty he displayed.
I never heard details of Mendy's case, so in that situation all one could do was keep silent and wait for the authorities to decide.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not claiming he’s a victim of anything or he’s a nice guy or anything all I pointed out is let’s wait for the facts to come out lol but apparently that’s not how things work on here anymore. The moment someone makes a claim it must be 100% true without trial proof or any form of review.
Seems like I’m the only one who believes someone isn’t guilty or innocent until proven to be.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You characterised the general reaction as one of condemning the accused prior to evidence. I'm pointing out that many people were smarter than that: expressing justified disgust at what we know for sure without presuming their legal guilt or innocence. If you want to make the (as I said) valid point about deferring judgement, maybe choose examples where it's only an issue of false or unproven allegations, rather than muddying the water by citing examples of individuals who acted as аssholes and got stick for being аssholes (and were also accused of rаpe).

The screenshots of his text messagesthe guy is obviously sick, twisted and living in an alternate universe
But the things some of these women will do or allow to be done to themselves for money is also pretty sick.

I’ve rad about 45 pages so far and it indeed is shocking tbh. I know what ur saying, from all accounts Vince is a bit of a mad man. However I do doubt that someone so high profile would have such incriminating messages etc on his phone and wouldn’t have things like this dealt with by some stooges. Also the brock lesnar stuff?

I meant more that it’s a seedy, misogynist industry so seedy misogynist stories shouldn’t be a surprise.

Still not got over 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin siding with him at Wrestlemania 17.

This is just Vince being Vince, no characters being played

Looking even worse for Vince now, seems like he has been under federal investigation for a while now due to various shenanigans of a sexual nature.
Prison is a real possibility.
