The Arizona Republic reported Tuesday that World Wrestling Entertainment and three of its professional wrestlers are being sued in Maricopa County by flight attendants who allege the wrestlers sexually harassed them aboard a chartered luxury airplane.
The suit, filed late Monday in Superior Court, accuses Ric Flair, Scott Hall and Dustin Rhodes of "extreme and outrageous" behavior on a return flight from Europe aboard Phoenix-based SportsJet on May 5, 2002.
The suit alleges Flair wore only a jeweled cape, flashed a flight attendant and asked her to touch him. It also claims that Hall made a lewd proposition to a flight attendant and licked the face of another attendant, while Runnels - the suit says - grabbed one attendant and said they were going to have sex.
Flair is currently employed by WWE, while Hall and Rhodes are no longer with the company.
The suit also said other wrestlers on the return flight from Europe repeatedly groped the attendants.
The Republic's calls to World Wrestling Entertainment and SportsJet were not returned.
SportsJet also is reportedly being investigated over the allegations by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The company is owned by Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns. It provides flights for the three teams, as well as other teams, athletes and rock stars.
Do you think that they actually did this? Or are the flight attendance making false acusations to make money?
