On the latest special edition episode of Cornette’s Drive-Thru podcast, Cornette denied grooming talent, and using his influence as OVW (WWE developmental) booker to make certain wrestlers have sex with his wife Stacey Cornette.
This was in response to accusations that were made by Independent wrestler Phil Earley, who claimed that early in his career, Stacey attempted to groom him by sending him harassing messages, and unwanted lewd photos.
Jim Cornette on the allegations:
“I have never offered any wrestler, male or female, preferential treatment, a job, a contract, a push, or anything else related to their employment or threatened the opposite if they would or would not engage in ribbled relations with me or my wife,” Cornette said on his show. “No female wrestler that I ever worked with in Ohio Valley Wrestling, or anywhere else, to my recollection, has ever said that I talked to them or treated them improperly, except when critiquing their matches or performance of same, but treated them improperly or with any personal or language or actions of that description. I have not been involved with anyone under legal age.”
“I have never sent inappropriate pics, texts, sexts, or whatever to anybody cause I’ve never sent a damn text to anybody. I’ve never done that on Facebook for the same reason. I have never slept in the same bed with a woman and not had sex with them and it wasn’t a surprise to anybody that was involved with it when it happened,” he continued. “Nobody that I’ve ever known in the biblical sense has been forced or coerced in anyway to be there and all seemed happy to take part and happy when it was over it, you can take that as you will.”
“I’m not being accused of cheating by my spouse or significant other because whenever that’s happened she’s either known about it or been there when it took place. But my own wife is not mad at me for anything. So apparently that just leaves, when you take all those other things out, fun?!? That’s what you’re left over with is just fun?! Day-off personal time amongst friends. Fun?! Isn’t everybody supposed to have their fun?”
Jim Cornette on the accusation:
“If you take out the manipulating people’s jobs accusation, which we’ve just basically drawn and quartered, as as they say, and illustrated it was f*cking caca. What you’ve got left is I’ve been charged with having an interesting sex life.”
Jim Cornette on pictures of his wife’s butt which were shows as proof:
“Pictures of Stacey’s ass are not uncommon. She is proud of it and rightfully so! I have taken hundreds of pictures of that ass over the years in many different locations. She doesn’t just send them out unsolicited.”
According to Cornette, he and his wife barely know Early, but believes that he was in proximity of friends to someone who his wife was angry with, and that is why his wife went off via Facebook after having a few cocktails.
Now if you remember, the allegations did not come from 1 person, but by 3 different people who collaborated the allegations. For some reason Cornette only mentions Earley. To see the original allegations you can click here.
