WWE facing lawsuit by ex-writer who claims scripts were 'offensively racist' to Black wrestlers

WWE, Vince McMahon and more are part of a new lawsuit where a Black female writer claims discrimination and retaliation after she objected to "offensively racist and stereotypical jargon" in scripts for Black wrestlers and others, per Bloomberg Law. 

Britney Abrahams alleges in the lawsuit filed to the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on Monday that she made multiple complaints about the WWE scripts that were discussed in Slack channels that had McMahon and his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, present. 

Abrahams was eventually terminated from her post after taking home a WrestleMania 38-branded chair despite it allegedly being a "common practice that White male writers weren’t punished for."

There was another instance involving Black male wrestler, Apollo Crews, who was to speak with a "stereotypical and exaggerated Nigerian accent."
