A former WWE writer who alleged both racial discrimination and wrongful termination in a lawsuit against the company and several individuals voluntarily dismissed the suit without prejudice on Thursday against all defendants with the exception of WWE.
Because the case was dismissed without prejudice, that is a temporary move where she could either refile/alter the lawsuit or bring it to another court against any or all of the defendants.
This past April, Britney Abrahams filed suit in US District Court for the Eastern District of New York, accusing WWE of releasing her after she objected to multiple instances of “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” used in WWE scene scripts, specifically citing examples with Bianca Belair and Apollo Crews.
Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, vice presidents Ryan Callahan and Christine Lubrano, former writers Chris Dunn & Mike Heller, and writer Jen Pepperman were listed as individual defendants. The dismissal applies to all of them.
It is possible this development means Abrahams and her legal team are working on a settlement with WWE. When Wrestlenomics' Brandon Thurston reached out to The Cochran Group to inquire about that, their representative declined to comment.
