Hier, jeudi 18 juin 2020, dénonciations et allégations d’agressions, de harcèlements et de violence physique ou verbale dans le monde de la lutte ont déferlé sur les réseaux sociaux. Près de trois ans après le mouvement #metoo, dans lequel la lutte professionnelle avait été épargnée, les dénonciations se font cette fois-ci par le biais des mots-clic #speakout et #speakingout.
Parmi les personnes dénoncées publiquement, plusieurs sont des lutteurs, entraîneurs et promoteurs du Royaume-Uni:
David Starr (agression sexuelle) :
Max, David Starr, you have killed me time and time again over the past 7 years. I haven’t read your apology yet, but I can imagine I’m not in it, I’m that hidden secret you held onto when everything else was falling apart. Well, that’s no more. pic.twitter.com/oIiO5U19L3

Dans le cas de Jordan Devlin, la WWE a émis un communiqué dans lequel elle dit prendre ces allégations très au sérieux et se pencher sur ce problème.

Jimmy Havoc d’AEW (violence psychologique) :
This story isn’t in any order. A lot of my memory of this abuse is disordered because i was battling drink and substance abuse to cope. That DOES NOT make it invalid.
I’m #speakingout because I dont want anyone else to be hurt. And I don’t think i’m alone.

D’ailleurs, voici le communiqué de l’AEW concernant le cas Jimmy Havoc. Ce dernier suivra une thérapie afin de régler ses problèmes de santé mentale et d’abus de substances. Son statut au sein de l’AEW sera réévalué lorsqu’il aura complété sa thérapie.
We wish Jimmy Havoc all the best as he receives treatment and counseling in an effort to overcome the mental health and substance abuse challenges in his life. pic.twitter.com/mh0hudsPuW

Travis Banks de NXT UK (violence psychologique) :
Me or be near me in public incase anyone would find out.
Cheated on me multiple times in-front of my face, and was horrible to me.Had a massive effect on my mental health and self confidence. I hated wrestling and the person I became when I was with him. #speakingout

En réponses à ces dénonciations, plusieurs personnalités du monde de la lutte ont encouragé les victimes à parler publiquement de ce qui leur est arrivé :
Stories secret for years finally coming out. Sexually abused, harassed, played, raped… Names being called out. It's not easy. Bravo to the amazing strong ladies taking a stand today! Our business is so sick though, it is heartbreaking. #SpeakingOut
— LuFisto (@LuFisto) June 18, 2020
As a promotion, we continue to do whatever is needed to stem any and all forms of sexual misconduct. The only way to do this is to make sure these guys don’t end up in our locker room. But if we have no names, we cannot help. Please come forward. We’ll listen. https://t.co/NkB12wooQC

It may not be yourself… but someone you know and love….. I’m proud of those #SpeakingOut stay strong!

This seems like a great time to remind people that telling someone they should’ve come out with their story when it happened is not acceptable. In our world, there have been more consequences for the people #SpeakingOut than the actual offenders. That needs to change.

I feel like we are all just waiting for someone else to go first.
I’m scared too, I see you and I love you. ❤️— Viper-Piper Niven (@viperpiperniven) June 18, 2020

You're no "boy" of mine if you're an abuser. I was raised by a single black mom, a hard hand to draw and she played it out.
We show respect. We get consent. We see them as equal.
WE DON'T PROTECT TRASH. If you KNOW what's going on and protect it; you're a monster too.
— SUGE D. (@SugarDunkerton) June 19, 2020
I’m disgusted by what I’m reading.
Well done to those speaking out. I really hope we can make British wrestling a better place and keep everyone safe.
This is a huge eye opener and let’s hope it will force a big change.
— Pete Dunne (@PeteDunneYxB) June 18, 2020
I was taught at the time to ignore the dark side of wrestling, to grow thick skin. As a teenager, I didn't understand the severity of it all. MANY have had it much worse than I. Listen to their stories. We can be better. #SpeakingOut
— EVIL UNO of the DARK ORDER (@EvilUno) June 19, 2020
I finally had time this morning to check Twitter and let me tell you I was not ready for what I saw. I thought I knew the world of wrestling and the people in it a lot better, guess I didn't. It is sickening that these things are happening and that shit must stop.#SpeakingOut

You don’t have to share your pain. But if you do, realize how incredibly brave you are. Sharing your pain may prevent someone from experiencing that same pain. My heart is with you. #SpeakingOut
— Mustafa Ali / Adeel Alam (@AliWWE) June 19, 2020
I pray our industry is swiftly rid of all these predators & abusers. To everyone brave enough to tell their story, I’m so sorry you had to endure this. #SpeakingOut
— Florida Man (@WWEBigE) June 18, 2020
The things I have read today have made me sick to my stomach.
To anyone Speaking Out I’m sorry you had to go through these things, thank you for your courage.
To my colleagues, if you ever need a confidant at work it would be my honor.
Sex abuse needs to end.#SpeakingOut
