Former ROH wrestler Taeler Hendrix took to Twitter yesterday and began ripping on ROH World Champion Jay Lethal yesterday. A twitter user came to Lethal’s defense and Hendrix responded by saying she is longer in ROH because Lethal sabotaged her career by ROH because she would not sleep with him. Hendrix’s tweet can be seen below:

Hendrix later issued her official statement on the matter on Twitter:

I know this is going to be on wrestling sites. My name is Taeler & this is my statement: attorneys on my behalf have an ongoing investigation. I know I'm not the only one & ppl that have known of this investigation have been supportive. I'll continue to fight for what's right.✌

Hendrix was Lethal’s valet and part of the House of Truth along with Truth Martini during Lethal’s first run as ROH World Champion when he also held the ROH World TV Title as a double champion. She wrestled and appeared as a valet for ROH from 2015-2017.

PWTorch reached out to ROH and Jay Lethal for statements about Hendrix’s claims.
