JONATHAN COACHMAN, WWE RESPOND TO COACHMAN BEING NAMED IN ESPN SEXUAL HARASSMENT LAWSUIT

In a public statement, ESPN stated they had already investigated allegations brought forth by Lawrence internally and determined they were without merit.  They stated that they intend to defend themselves in court.

This morning, Coachman took to Twitter to respond to the allegations, writing, "I will address this only once because I am seething today. In 21 years of being a PROFESSIONAL I have never been more offended in my life. I my 9 years I can count on one hand the amount of times I interacted with anyone other than a co-anchor. To allow someone to spread vicious Lies and flat out fabrications is not ok and it’s time someone stood up for themselves. @jemelehill addressed her lie last night. I am not a part of this lawsuit because I have never done anything wrong. My reputation speaks for itself and anyone that has ever worked with me Will back that up. I am also offended that someone can dangerously throw peoples names into something for the clear attempt at getting headlines. This the only time I will address this because I am not a part of this lawsuit. My heart goes out to anyone falsely accused of Anything. Trust me it doesn’t feel good. But most of you have been incredible and supportive. Onward and upward."

WWE, in responding to a PWInsider.com query about the Coachman allegations, commented, "We take these matters very seriously and are investigating.”
