In an update on former ESPN anchor and legal analyst Adrienne Lawrence filing a lawsuit against several of her colleagues including now WWE RAW commentator Jonathan Coachman, citing sexual discrimination and harassment, WWE issued a brief statement on the matter stating, “We take these matters very seriously and are investigating.”
Lawrence claims in the lawsuit that Jonathan Coachman employed the ESPN predators playbook, in which he offered to mentor her after she had reached out to him, but that he then tried to turn the relationship personal, alleging that colleagues had told her that Coachman had sexually harassed other female employees at ESPN, which included former SportsCenter anchor Sara Walsh.
Lawrence noted that she communicated to Coachman that she had a boyfriend and that she did not hear back from him after that.
