WITNESS SIDES WITH RANDY ORTON IN FAN ATTACK ALLEGATIONS, WWE COMMENTS ON CASE

The Saugus Advertiser followed up on the assault allegations made against former WWE champion Randy Orton by a 15 year old fan who claimed Orton spit gum in his face and was demeaning to the fan's mother while declining an autograph request.

A witness, Stephen Addonizio has come forward with a different story. Addonizio noted that he was sitting in a car with his sister in the parking lot of Kowloon's, a Chinese restaurant well known to be visited by WWE performers when in the New England area, at the time of the alleged incident. Addonizio said Orton ignored requests for autographs and when the youth who brought the charges against Orton yelled something derogatory at him, Orton turned to respond when other wrestlers pulled him back and towards their car. “He just kept walking past them and got into his car,” Addonizio said, noting Orton never came into contact with anyone.

WWE's Robert Zimmerman noted in the article the company is aware of the alleged incident and is investigating.
