I am completely blanking on this, what’s the story? It wasnt a boat, it was a tanning salon. I have no idea where I got a boat from! I think it was brought up in a deposition or something similar that Vince had a boat named sexy bitch.

Forgive me if this was posted but former jobber Mario Mancini has backed up Rita Chatterton's sexual assault claims from 1986. Not posting the link because of the graphic description but it's out there.

There’s an old shoot from Bret floating around where he addresses this and holy f*** does it make Bret look terrible…

You'd think there would be more national outrage over these types of allegations, but Vince is already seen as a sleazier PT Barnum anyway, so I doubt anyone is shocked or anything.

I 100% believe Rita but I wouldn't want Mario Mancini as my friend. On kayfabe memories it was suggested he's only coming out now since he's shopping a book around and also just a few months ago was trying to get to be a part of Undertaker's HOF induction since he was Taker's first TV opponent, I think pre taped before Survivor Series. The poster on kayfabe questioned why Mario would know this for decades and just NOW come forward.
Again I believe Rita, but Mario is just an opportunist. He may do more harm for Rita than good and I don't think he'd care either way. Also the "probably not" comment seems as if he's trying to go either way-make Rita's claims valid but protect himself in case WWE comes calling, which they never will.

I think it's more that no one seemingly cares, outside of wrestling. Yes, there's stories in a couple major outlets, but outside of that there's nary a peep.

Non fans who know him probably see him as "that wrestling guy" and don't bat an eye because of the line between kayfabe and reality. To Vince it's all just a show and non wrestling fans don't care. The salon young lady didn't even know who he was.

Rita also told Andre about the incident, surprised Andre didnt leave the company in disgust (Andre had enough success beforehand to live comfortably without the WWF).

I really feel like Andre was a guy who would put wrestling above all else. If Vince goes down for rape WWF may go out of business, multiple wrestlers lose their jobs. I can't see Andre allowing that. Rita may have felt as if he was a friend but I don't buy him being a savior for her and as it turns out, he wasn't. And I'm a huge Andre fan, just don't like a lot of his antics with Sheik, Bad News, Kamala, Rockers, Macho etc...

We’re t asking about a guy who deliberately avoided treating his condition, which was always possible even in his youth, because he was afraid of how it would affect his career. If he was willing to die young and in pain for the industry, he’d let this go as well.

Now the question boils down to if that was his personal money or company money. If its company money, then he's likely gone. If its personal money no one (at least in the corporate sense) will care, even if the material in question was definitely not good.

This involves more than just consensual sex with an employee. The sexual misconduct allegations here are pretty bad. We have sexual harassment, Vince sending unsolicited nudes, forcing someone to perform oral sex on him and not renewing their contract when they refused his advances. This is really bad.

If report is true he is gone regardless of where the money came from…WWE is a publicly traded company.
