NY Times says current WWE exec Lee Fitting was fired from ESPN due to years of sexual miscodunct

In a blockbuster article by The New York Times it was revealed that current WWE’s Head of Media & Production, Lee Fitting, was fired from his ESPN job after years of sexual misconduct.

Fitting was ESPN’s Senior Vice President of Production for 25 years before joining WWE in the beginning of the year.

The New York Times reached out to 20 women, including six which brought forward their complaints to ESPN’s HR department. An investigation into Fitting’s allegations led to his firing from the Disney company.

WWE and TKO Group did not provide any comments to The New York Times while a spokesman for Fitting denied most of the allegations while ignoring some other allegations in the story.

The story comes at an awkward time for the company as it’s going through the Janel Grant lawsuit, with sexual allegations against former WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, John Laurinaitis, and the company itself.
