Former Writer Sues WWE & Vince McMahon, Claims Discrimination, Retaliation Former WWE writer Britney Abrahams is suing the organization. Abrahams has filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York claiming that Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and other company employees discriminated and retaliated against her for raising concerns about "offensively racist and stereotypical jargon" used in the promotion's scripts. According to the complaint that was filed earlier this week, Abrahams protested against racial and gender stereotypes that were written into WWE's shows. Abrahams objected to a fellow writer pitching Bianca Belair to say, "Uh-Uh! Don't make me take off my earrings and beat your ass!" The former WWE writer also disagreed with the company having Apollo Crews speak with an exaggerated Nigerian accent. Abrahams claims that she was subjected to "a number of racist pitches" after voicing her concerns. credit: www.wrestlinginc.com/1268940/former-writer-sues-wwe-vince-mcmahon-claims-discrimination-retaliation/
