A former WWE writer's lawsuit against the company has been "resolved amicably."
Britney Abrahams filed suit against Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, WWE and several members of the creative team in April alleging she was released after objecting to multiple instances of “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” used in WWE scripts.
Abrahams voluntarily dismissed the case against the individual defendants in April but not the claim against the company itself. The cases were dismissed "without prejudice," meaning she would be able to re-file her suit at a later time.
Brandon Thurston reported on Friday that Abrahams has now voluntarily dismissed the case against WWE as well and has done so "with prejudice," meaning she is not able to re-file later. Furthermore, Abrahams has requested that the claims she previously dismissed "without prejudice" now be deemed as "with prejudice" by the court.
When reached for comment, a lawyer representing Abrahams responded that the matter has been "resolved amicably."
Plaintiff BRITNEY ABRAHAMS, by and through her attorneys, THE COCHRAN FIRM, hereby gives notice that the above-captioned action (and all claims contained therein) is voluntarily dismissed with prejudice in its entirety. Plaintiff further gives notice of her request that the claims previously dismissed on August 17, 2023 without prejudice be now deemed dismissed with prejudice. Each party shall bear that party's own attorney's fees and costs. Dismissal is proper under this section because no party has yet answered the complaint in this matter.
