WWE star, Brock Lesnar faced an accusation of sexual assault by Terri Runnels. If you watch WWE, then you must be familiar with the former WWE star Terri Runnels. She is also a former wife of the fellow WWE star Golddust, married for six years from 1993 to 1999.
The 53-year-old for WWE Diva recounted the incident and opened about the sexual harassment during the podcast 'KEE on Sports.' She mentioned that the incident happened in 2004 in the WWE changing room and referred to it as a 'disrespectful' action.
Runnels said:
"I don’t have a lot of respect for Brock, I don’t think Brock respects wrestling fans. Brock did something that if it was in today’s day and time… you know."
"He showed his penis to me and called my name as I was walking past where he was in the dressing room and opened his towel so I could see his manly bits. I would have much rather him not be so disrespectful of a female that’s been in this business for as long as I have been."
She further said Brock Lesnar knew at the time that he was going to be a powerful wrestler as WWE had planned to give him a strap. But whatever he did in the locker room was completely disrespectful.
According to Runnels:
"In terms of sexual harassment standpoint, Brock Lesnar's actions were wrong."

The initial accusations against Lesnar had first swirled back in the same year that the incident happened, i.e., 2004. However, it got halted. But Terri now spoke her story publicly and returned with the same sexual allegations due to the #SpeakingOut movement on social media.
WWE also has released the statement that read:
"We take any allegation of this nature very seriously and are looking into the matter' and announced that it is investigating the case."
'#SpeakingOut Movement' has been referred to as one of the powerful campaigns, as of 2020. AEW's wrestler Sammy Guevara also got suspended for his past comments that cited that he 'wanted to rape' Sasha Banks in 2016. And, now Brock Lesnar is another target of the campaign.
On the other hand, the 42-year-old American pro wrestler has not responded to the sexual allegations Golddust's ex-wife made against him.
As for now, the official story is yet to get public, which will be released after the investigation of WWE.
