A lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, and other executives for allegedly discriminating against a Black female writer is no longer being pursued.
The lawsuit from Britney Abrahams, who worked for both RAW and SmackDown in 2020, noted that she objected to “offensively racist and stereotypical jargon” that had been used in scripts for “Black wrestlers including Bianca Belair and Apollo Crews.”
Abraham’s case was dismissed with prejudice on Friday. Derek S. Sells from The Cochrane Firm represented Abraham and stated that both parties would be responsible for their own attorney fees.
No explanation was given for the voluntary dismissal.
