Former WWE Diva Ashley Massaro, who this week joined the head-injury lawsuit filed by over 50 former WWE employees against the company, claimed that during a trip in 2006 to a U.S military base that WWE sent her to visit, that she was sexually assaulted, however the company convinced her to keep things quiet.

In the documents filed this week, Massaro claims that the assault happened while she was in the Middle East on a WWE-sanctioned trip with Maria Kanellis, Jimmy Hart and Ron Simmons and that this was not for the Tribute to the Troops.

According to the documents, upon her return to the United States, Massaro was seen by Dr. Rios who interviewed her about the incident and that Dr. Rios reported the incident to WWE executives who soon thereafter met with Massaro to apologize for their negligence, but persuaded her that it would be the best option not to report it to the appropriate authorities.

The lawyer for Massaro adds in the documents that this situation derives from the WWE’s employment misclassification scheme wherein the WWE deems itself neither responsible for Massaro’s safety, despite being on a WWE tour in the Middle East, nor does the WWE deem itself responsible to report or collect data about incidents such as this and that the WWE, in order to protect its public image and insulate itself from paying for its injured workers, prefers to remain silent.
