Independent wrestling star David Starr has taken to social media to respond to accusations of non-consensual sexual abuse.

A Twitter account under the name ‘tori.’ (short for Victoria) with the handle @slaymysterio, who was previously in a relationship with Starr, posted a series of screenshots and messages pointing to misconduct.

Sexual abuse, or abuse of any kind, is something that can have serious effects on mental health. If you are have been through, are going through, or know someone going through a similar situation, click here for information on where you can find support.

So long story short this guy is an abusive partner and may be a sexual predator as there's another story going around that he tried to get a 17 year old girl drunk too. Even worse is this motherfucker bought a twitter ad to highlight his "I'm not a sexual predator" tweet. What a fucking creep. I sincerely hope people start waking up and stop booking him.

His excuse is literally that since there wasn't a no, he didn't know it wasn't consensual.

The old CEO lo green excuse

Yeah like the best case scenario is he didn't technically rape her, but admitted to doing pretty much everything but that, so... Disappointed but not surprised in this case.

In the wake of indie wrestler David Starr being accused of sexual assault, several independent wrestling companies have stripped him of their titles or announced intentions to not work with him again.

On Thursday, Ireland's OTT tweeted that their championship is now vacant, RevPro tweeted their Southside title is now vacant, and TNT Extreme Wrestling tweeted they have also stripped Starr (real name Max Barsky) of their title.

A Twitter user named Tori shared her story earlier this week, saying the 29-year-old sexually assaulted and abused her, prompting another woman to share her experience.

Since the accusation, Starr tweeted several times that he is not a sexual predator, but that he was "an emotionally immature d*ckhead", denying doing what Tori claims and that he was "an awful partner." He said if this means the end of wrestling for him, he's fine with that, but he isn't going on the offensive. "No matter what I say, I'm the bad guy. No pity party. It is what it is," he tweeted.

Sounds weird to say because at this point I think the accusations have a lot of merit but I think I respect Starr's response whether he did it or not? He's denying the worst still and if he's lying about that then fuck him, and even if he's not I mean still fuck him for the stuff he's admitted but considering no one ever fucking admits that they were a terrible partner or anything like that unless they're already fuckin' in jail, it's almost refreshing.

Still a lot of unknowns here really though

He's trying to save face and still look like the ultra feminist ally pro-union woke guy he's sold himself as for a long time now.

He also just deleted his twitter so all his apologies are now in the void.

 

[Hoss]

I feel like he woulda maybe skated by if he just made the one tweet, but the series of tweets he went on to post to just made him look worse and worse. It very much came across like he was trying to get sympathy for himself.

 

[Chris]

A classic tactic is making yourself look bad by admitting half of what you actually did so I could see that too

It's also usually a successful tactic from what I've seen as well though so we'll see how things play out

 

[Necro]

Wow that sounds creepy.

 

[Grim]

Fucking yikes.

 

[Dale]

Best thing to do for this is check Reddit, this is just one story surrounding the British scene and all sorts of scummy shit. Jordan Devlin is being hinted at, there's the David Starr stuff etc etc etc

 

[Chris]

Bro is it really that hard to not be creepy towards women?

 

[Necro]

Wow the news keeps coming today. This is disturbing.
