IMPORTANT UPDATE REGARDING ASHLEY MASSARO'S PASSING AND INCORRECT INFORMATION BEING PUBLISHED

By Mike Johnson on 2019-05-17 15:01:00

A number of websites, including TheBlast.com, have published a statement purportedly from former WWE star Shelly Martinez about the cause of death of Ashley Massaro yesterday. 

Martinez was one of Massaro's closest friends, but reached out to PWInsider.com shortly after we quoted the Blast report to inform us that she has not issued any public statement regarding Massaro's cause of death.

The quote being wrongly attributed to Martinez has been taken from a fake Facebook account claiming to be the former WWE star.  Martinez does not maintain a public Facebook account.

Martinez does maintain an official Twitter account and posted the following:

As noted, for several minutes, PWInsider.com had the Blast quote up on the site.  That quote has been removed and we apologize for running it.

Our deepest condolences to the Massaro family.
