Independent Wrestling Promoter Accused Of Harassment

In a statement shared through Instagram Stories, Melissa claimed she initially invested in Gremlin House Wrestling to support independent wrestling and her daughter’s growing interest in the business. However, she alleged the relationship with Hutchinson deteriorated after she rejected repeated sexual advances.

According to the statement, Melissa alleged Hutchinson threatened to blacklist her minor daughter from wrestling after she informed him in January that she would no longer invest in the company. She also claimed her ex-husband and people close to her experienced harassment.

Melissa further alleged the behavior continued after she blocked communication. She claimed the contact allegedly included fake Instagram accounts, repeated calls and texts, and attempts to gain access to her. In addition, she stated her daughter allegedly received a disturbing phone call last week.

The statement also noted Melissa has filed a police report and plans to pursue legal action.

Additionally, Melissa shared screenshots of alleged Instagram direct messages attributed to Hutchinson. The screenshots appeared to show repeated personal and sexual messages, as well as multiple attempts to contact her.

Following the allegations shared on social media, Gremlin House Wrestling issued a public statement denying the accusations.
