Ring of Honor Investigating Sexual Harassment Allegations Against Champion Jay Lethal

Ring of Honor is investigating allegations of sexual harassment against newly crowned ROH Champion Jay Lethal, the company revealed in a statement Thursday. The allegations come from former employee Taeler Hendrix, who claims that Lethal told her ROH "sabotaged" her career because she wouldn't have sex with him. Hendrix made the accusations on Twitter:

She followed up with an official statement for the media saying that attorneys are conducting an investigation, and saying she came forward privately in the past:

In response to the allegations, Ring of Honor issued the following statement to the website PWTorch:

We were troubled to hear the allegations that surfaced last night on Twitter. We take these matters very seriously and will be investigating this situation thoroughly, reviewing all evidence related to the matter. Ring of Honor strives to provide an environment and workplace where male and female wrestlers are free from any misconduct or abuse. We will take appropriate action upon the conclusion of our findings.
