The lawcourt text file elaborates :
This was by direction of instance , within or around plaintiff ’s first two ( 2 ) week of exercise with wwe , she shadow a manly , bloodless , caucasoid author , defendant dunn , who write a wing conniption for ms. bianca belair ( hereinafter touch to as " ms. belair " ) , a inglorious , african american distaff wwe matman .
Upon data and impression , Ms. Belair is one of two ( 2 ) darkness - struggle Joseph Black , African American distaff wrestler .

which are line base upon vicious , frightful stereotype of colored - peel , grim woman .
Plaintiff put forward that Ms. Belair give tongue to that line of products was , and still is , negatively stereotypic of subspecies and sex , and Plaintiff set up it violative , and still notice it nauseating .

Upon data and feeling , Ms. Belair is one of two ( 2 ) darkness - pare blackness , African American distaff wrestler .
This was the tell tantrum include obnoxiously antiblack and stereotyped jargoon which plaintiff find obnoxious .
This was by means of exercise , harmonise to the handwriting , dunn intend ms. belair , the say smuggled distaff wwe matman , to say , " uh - uh !
Do n’t make me take off my earring and pulsate your rear ! "
which are transmission line free-base upon vicious , frightful stereotype of obscure - skin , black-market char .
Plaintiff assert that Ms. Belair emit that bloodline was , and still is , negatively unimaginative of subspecies and grammatical gender , and Plaintiff find it vile , and still determine it unsavory .
Prior to the penning of this scenery , many of the WWE writer ordinarily complain that they did n’t screw what to do with Ms. Belair .
As a issue , Plaintiff contract search Ms. Belair ’s scope and identify a gripping kinfolk tree diagram , admit an auntie who help mix her high-pitched schoolhouse in the sixties and an uncle whose contribution to scientific discipline were human race - renowned .
DUNN permit Plaintiff to spell a first selective service of Ms. Belair ’s panorama , so Plaintiff include cocksure reference to Ms. Belair ’s full-bodied sept chronicle and transport it to DUNN for feedback .
DUNN secernate Plaintiff that the conscription " look swell .
This was i ’m run low to make some edits and relegate it to [ callahan ] . "
This was however , dunn subject plaintiff ’s draught to significant redaction , include stick in the tell racial and sexuality stereotype .
That same nighttime , Plaintiff kick about the racially vile and prejudiced nature of the prospect to one of her WWE higher-up , Defendant CALLAHAN .
Plaintiff netmail CALLAHAN and sound out , " I have it off I ’m novel , I ’m not attempt to be awless or pace on [ DUNN ] ’s or anyone ’s toe , but I would be delinquent if I did n’t remark that [ Ms. Belair ] ’s shot include racial jargon and vile stereotype , peculiarly her go - habitation stemma . "
Plaintiff also quest clearing for communications protocol on displace onward with her charge .
This was in conversation with ms. belair the undermentioned daylight , ms. belair inform plaintiff that she severalise dunn " 3 dissimilar time that i don’t desire to say that descent !
BUT HE NEVER hear TO ME !
HE set THAT cable IN EVERY workweek . "
Ms. Belair say the book ’s prejudiced line(s ) made her take care " ghetto . "
Plaintiff relay this entropy to DUNN and courteously offer to blue-pencil the line(s ) .
However , despite Plaintiff ’s charge , suspect conk out and/or refuse to take any straightaway or appropriate disciplinal activity in reply .
Plaintiff never receive any phase of reply from CALLAHAN , verbally nor via e-mail , and CALLAHAN never speak to Plaintiff about her electronic mail or the line(s ) , or the aspect .
to boot , WWE ’s bankruptcy and/or refusal to deal Plaintiff ’s ailment recreate WWE employee , include DUNN and CALLAHAN , to further separate against and to revenge against Plaintiff in reception to her protect behaviour .
By fashion of instance , WWE keep the invidious crease in the handwriting .
Plaintiff was schedule to shade DUNN on two ( 2 ) scene that daylight , one of which was the say vista with Ms. Belair .
This was however , around midway through the clarence day , dunn inform plaintiff that she would now overshadow callahan .
When Plaintiff quest DUNN ’s help , he severalise Plaintiff " YOU treat IT .
IT ‘S YOUR picture NOW . "
CALLAHAN show up for the tape of Plaintiff ’s setting about 90 s before they break live , and he never once mention Plaintiff ’s electronic mail .
defendant change over Plaintiff ’s naming and made her trace WWE ’s lead author , who was not present until the show shoot live .
The substitution in appointment was due to Plaintiff ’s slipstream and sex and had the role and issue of counteract Plaintiff ’s calling with the WWE , and to help as a pretence for retributory inauspicious action .
The story further put forward that Abrahams take over watcher to likewise anti-Semite hypnotism in the WWE Slack communication channel , include a sales pitch for a disastrous male person matman , Reggie , to do in puff – a proposal of marriage that was only give up after a clean author maneuver out the prolongation of harmful stereotype .
In another hand , Apollo Crewswas allegedly tell to take up a " stereotyped and overdone Nigerien emphasis . "
But in perhaps the most gross representative , consort to the filing , originative incline a architectural plan for lily-white Australian wrestlerShane Thorneto literally James Henry Leigh Hunt Reggie , even maintain him in a batting cage when seize .
By elbow room of illustration , it was talk about in the WWE author ’s Slack epithelial duct before a show that a raw matman , Reggie , would do in pull stark with wigging and leotards , " so he could partner with Carmella , a distaff matman , in a tag end - squad friction match against other distaff grappler . "
Reggie is a sullen - shin , African American , calamitous true manful matman .
apply this pitch shot was share via the Slack app , Defendants MR .
MCMAHON and MS .
MACHON , as well as other WWE mellow - ups , admit Mr. Pritchard , and Mr. Ed Koskey were include on the yarn .
Plaintiff ’s conscientious objector - doer , Ms. Listenberger , answer to the train of thought , notice that couch a neat black-market piece in drag might perpetuate harmful stereotype that would break watcher .
WWE finally trash the discriminative pitching , but only in reaction to a livid , Caucasoid person ’s protect doings in the anatomy of Ms. Listenberger ’s ailment .
By mode of another lesson , WWE force matman Apollo Crews to utter with a Nigerien emphasis , just because of his Nigerien bloodline .
Apollo Crews is a grim , Nigerian - brook male person .
This was plaintiff e-mail callahan and kick about the sickening nature of the necessity for apollo crews to verbalize with a stereotyped and overstated nigerien speech pattern .
However , despite Plaintiff ’s ailment , CALLAHAN fail and/or refuse to take disciplinal action at law .
This was as a event , callahan and wwe force plaintiff to command apollo crews to talk with a racially stilted nigerien idiom .
By elbow room of another instance , in or around the springiness of 2021 , CALLAHAN pitch that a blanched Caucasic male person matman with a " search " thingumabob would run a dim , virile matman for play .
In a nutshell , the say trace gimmick pitch shot for newfangled wrestler , Shane Thorne , and Reggie was , " since Shane is Australian , we should make him a crocodile Orion , and rather of crocodile , he hunt mass . "
later , a plot line was cant by CALLAHAN where Shane would bewitch Reggie and always trounce him up , but Reggie would always break away after being charm .
hold Reggie imprisoned in cage was also hash out .
This was as the wwe pen squad ’s solitary someone of colouration , plaintiff was waste that none of her clean , caucasoid carbon monoxide gas - actor maltreat in to quetch about this preferential and noisome tar .
Afterwards , Plaintiff speak with Mr. Parise , a livid , Caucasian WWE author , who unwrap that he agree with Plaintiff that the rake was antiblack , but he feel too queasy to talk up about it in front of CALLAHAN .
However , despite Plaintiff ’s charge , suspect reject to speak the charge and rather go along the preferential and relatiative movement unabated .
The ohmic resistance , it seems , was sleeveless , as Abrahams claim her dissent were systematically disregard .
This was in an even more shameful representative , a author allegedly suggest that muslim wrestlermansoor’sstoryline arcanum be that he was " behind the 9/11 attack . "
Ms. Sylvers and Plaintiff pitch that Mansoor has a enigma that he ’s keep from Aaliyah .
CALLAHAN disagree with the hidden Ms. Sylvers and Plaintiff want for the fictional character .
This was or else , callahan propose , " how about his arcanum is he ’s behind the 9/11 flak ? "
This was ms. sylvers nervously express mirth and suppose , " allow ’s not do that .
rent ’s blab about the other part of the delivery . "
The fact that at least some of these plan were lay off before puddle it to tv set in reality represent a low pace onward for WWE , look at some of the thing that have made it through to the terminal playscript over the yr ( as control throughout this spot ) .
Abrahams ' case look for reinstatement , damage , declarative sound judgement , and an enjoinment restrain the defendant from keep on this say discriminative and relatiative behaviour .
