WWE has issued a statement in response to the recent release of a 15-page affidavit containing the complete written testimony of the late Ashley Massaro, signed under penalty of perjury. The document was released by Konstantine Kryos, the lawyer who represented more than 60 former wrestlers, including Massaro, in a class action lawsuit against WWE.
As we broke down in a detailed report earlier this week, the affidavit contains a graphic retelling of an incident where the former Raw Divas Search winner was allegedly drugged and raped while on a U.S. military base in the Middle East, while reprsenting WWE overseas. Furthermore, her account of the story claims that Vince McMahon, among other high-ranking company officials, coerced her into covering up the entire incident.
WWE has released the following statement in response:
WWE is saddened by the death of Ashley Massaro, and we reiterate our condolences to her family. However, we regret that her attorney Konstantine Kyros, who filed multiple cases against WWE, lost all of them, and was sanctioned multiple times by the Court for repeated misconduct and false allegations, is using Ashley’s death to further his malicious campaign against WWE by releasing an affidavit that she submitted to the Court and later apologized to WWE for being involved with, so we wish to make certain things crystal clear.
At no time was Vince McMahon or the management of WWE ever informed by Ashley Massaro or anybody else that she had been sexually assaulted, drugged, raped or sodomized by a military doctor with a nurse standing guard while on a goodwill tour in 2007 to U.S. military bases in Kuwait. In fact, if she ever articulated such a claim to WWE, we would have reported it immediately to the Base Commander.

At no time was there ever a meeting with Vince McMahon, Kevin Dunn, John Laurinaitis or other company executives in which she told them of such a claim and was instructed to keep it quiet.
Former WWE stars who were friends with Ashley Massaro, including Lillian Garcia, Candice Michelle and Mick Foley, are promoting a fundraiser to promote educational support to the departed’s 18-year-old daughter, Alexa.
