WWE superstars react to the sexual abuse allegations in the industry

On Thursday, a woman named Hannah Francesca accused WWE NXT UK star Jordan Devlin of sexually abusing her. Francesca shared some images on Twitter in which injury marks can be seen all over her lower body. “This is scary. I’m really scared. Jordan Devlin did this to me. And this is just the physical damage. Not including my a**e and back bruises…because I don’t fancy posting that online,” Francesca wrote.

After Hannah Francesca’s tweet went viral, a number of people took to Twitter and shared their harassment stories with the hashtag #Speakout. Apart from Jordan Devlin, WWE UK stars Ligero, Travis Banks and Joe Coffey have also been accused of sexually harassing women in the ongoing #Speakout movement. WWE recently released a statement on former cruiserweight champion Jordan Devlin and explained, “We take any allegation of this nature very seriously and are looking into the matter.”
