Ashley Massaro was sexually assaulted while on a WWE tour to a military base in Kuwait. Jimmy Hart and Ron Simmons were among the people that knew about it and she was paid to keep quiet.
Having your side of events discredited and suppressed is both emotionally and mentally crippling and is what led her to suicide. The very same thing happened with Tom Cole, who committed suicide in 2021 after years of trauma stemming from the ring boys scandal finally caught up.
WWE's statement on Ashley Massaro when she passed:
>WWE is saddened by the death of Ashley Massaro, and we reiterate our condolences to her family. However, we regret that her attorney Konstantine Kyros, who filed multiple cases against WWE, lost all of them, and was sanctioned multiple times by the Court for repeated misconduct and false allegations, is using Ashley's death to further his malicious campaign against WWE by releasing an affidavit that she submitted to the Court and later apologized to WWE for being involved with, so we wish to make certain things crystal clear.
If Ashley Massaro gets revealed as one of the people who did infact get paid hush money, it's really going to be over for WWE.
