WWE News: Latest update on Enzo Amore's sexual assault controversy

What's the story?

WWE Superstar Enzo Amore was recently released from the company after he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman, who goes by the name Philomena Sheahan, in October 2017.

However, in a recent turn of events, a new video started circulating on the Internet in which a friend of the alleged victim, Sam Cook, claimed that all the accusations made by Sheahan were false. He openly stated that the sexual encounter was consensual and that the woman in question even bragged about bedding "a famous wrestler."

In case you didn't know...

A day before RAW 25, Shehan first shared her story via her social media account. The story instantly garnered a lot of attention from the wrestling fraternity. WWE was quick to take action and Amore was suspended. Post that, the news of his release from the company broke out.

On the other hand, Cook had a different story to share. Cook, who was allegedly in a relationship with Shehan, started facing heat from the wrestling fans. That is when the latter decided to come out and reveal more details about the incident which he claims to be true alongside pieces of evidence.

The heart of the matter

As was seen in the video, Cook dug out Shehan's texts from the past and used it to prove how her sexual relationship with Amore wasn't without her consent. He also stated that she boasted about her interaction with a 'famous wrestler' to her friends, in complete contradiction to her recent statements.

Speaking about her time in rehab, Cook stated that the only reason she agreed to see a therapist was that her father threatened to 'throw her out of the house' if she didn't mend her ways.

This video was also shared by former WWE star JTG. He took to Twitter and voiced out his opinion in favour of Amore.

What's next?

It's too soon to say how this case will develop. The investigation is going on and no claims can be made until the final trial.

Author's take

This is a sensitive issue and it would be unfair to comment unless one is completely aware of the facts. Let's wait for the investigation to get over before blaming either of the two individuals involved in the case. May the justice prevail!
