Former ring announcer for Evolve and independent organizations, Heather Lynn, is stating that she dealt with sexual harassment and misconduct while working in the wrestling industry.

Oh the sexual harassment stories that could be told about the wrestling business. Some by me, I'm sure some by many others. I've been sexually harassed by promoters and wrestlers. Problem is no one ever believes us. Maybe one day I'll speak up. #wrestling #sexualharassment

We used to have a name for hugs at a certain promotion I was at. They were called "_____-hugs" with the name of the promoter in the blank and he would give them to the girls, rubbing our lower backs and holding us real close. We all knew we were getting these hugs. 1/2

2/2 When the promoter found out I had a boyfriend, even though I never hid it, I just didn't advertise it because of personal reasons, I got reprimanded for not telling the promoter even though nothing had ever happened between us, and I wasn't used as much. #wrestling

Would it help to know that this promoter is somewhat connected to a major fed? Probably not. https://t.co/NGu718zzD2

Should I go into when the other "partner" would ask me for an "OTPHJ", which stands for an "over the pants hand job"?? That's how he would ask for it, and often. No thanks. https://t.co/si5sDR1Ql6

Lynn clarified that her claims are not about long-time booker Gabe Sapolsky.

I want to clarify this isn't about Gabe. https://t.co/2yawKh8YpH

The reason I am speaking out now is because I no longer have anything to do with the business side of wrestling and I don't need to worry about getting or losing bookings. Yes, I should have said something sooner, but it's also scary because wrestling is very much a "boys club"

Lynn also was sure to state that Dave Prazak from Shimmer is also not who she is referring to.

Allow me to clarify that I am not speaking of Dave Prazak. I've only worked with him once in San Jose and he was never anything other than professional to me.

She opted not to deny some other names, however.
