In a shocking revelation, WWE Superstar Matt Riddle took to Instagram on Saturday to disclose that he had allegedly been sexually assaulted by a police officer during an encounter at JFK Airport. The post, which has since been removed, was initially captured by Cultaholic before it was taken down.
In the now-deleted Instagram post, Riddle wrote, “Nothing like being sexually assaulted by an officer and harassed at the JFK airport, no means no, and just because I’m nice doesn’t mean yes!!! A**hole!!! Don’t know their Twitter or Instagram handles but I took pictures; normally I’m like whatever, but today was really weird and uncomfortable, and they made a point to make me feel small and useless. Definitely one of the most uncomfortable travel days I’ve ever had. Thanks, NYC, you’re so progressive and accepting!”
Accompanying the post, Riddle also shared a photograph of the alleged perpetrator. As of the time of this writing, there have been no further updates on the situation, and WWE has not issued any official comments regarding the accusation made by Riddle against the police officer.
This accusation comes against the backdrop of previous controversies involving Matt Riddle. In 2018, during the “Speaking Out” movement within the professional wrestling industry, independent wrestler Candy Cartwright accused Riddle of sexually assaulting her. Riddle denied the sexual assault allegation but did admit to having an affair with Cartwright.
The WWE Universe now awaits further developments and official statements regarding this disturbing incident as the situation continues to unfold.
