By Mike Johnson on 2020-06-19 17:40:00

Attorney Daniel Rose, who represents WWE star Matt Riddle, issued the following statement regarding allegations of sexual abuse levied against Riddle overnight on Twitter:

PRESS RELEASE - REGARDING MATT RIDDLE

The allegations by this independent female performer are completely false and another attempt to harass and humiliate Mr. and Mrs. Riddle and to try and tarnish their reputation in the community.

We have been aware for the last two years of this performer stalking the Riddle family.

In 2019, our firm had drafted a pleading against this performer to seek an injunction for cyberstalking in the Circuit Court for Orange County, Florida.

The allegation claims that in May 2018, Riddle allegedly attempted to force the performer to sleep with him, leading to her performing oral sex instead.  She alleges this took place in a van with several others sleeping in the van at the time.
