After former ROH Wrestler Taeler Hendrix came forward yesterday with allegations against Jay Lethal claiming that the current ROH World Champion sabotaged her Ring of Honor career and was responsible for having her removed from ROH TV after refusing to sleep with him.
After she came forward with her accusations she was met with mixed response from wrestling fans and other people online. While many supported her, there were just as many that came to Lethal’s defense, some going as far as verbally attacking Hendrix online.
She responded to the reaction she has received after coming forward with the allegations saying, “Let the hate roll in. Doesn’t change what happened. I came forward privately long ago & now it’s public. If I stay silent I’ll be part of the problem. I can’t live w/ that. I’ll fight for what’s right. Threatening me/supposed burned bridges changes nothing. Let the hate roll in.”
