Krystal Marshal Speaks Out on Racism in the WWE

In an interview with Diva-Dirt.com, former WWE Diva Krystal Marshall described the "morally degrading" storyline that made her quit WWE and what she feels were racist comments by a top member of WWE's creative team. Marshall said that her path to exiting WWE began with the Teddy Long wedding storyline. Stephanie McMahon assured her the storyline would be done in a tasteful way, but Michael Hayes told her it would be raunchy, which she was very against. Marshall said Hayes didn’t treat her boyfriend Bobby Lashley well and that Hayes actually said he doesn’t like Lashley “or anyone that looks like him.” She said she knew if she didn’t do the storyline she would lose her job, but she was not going to do something she was uncomfortable with. When asked about Bobby Lashley's departure from the company, she said Lashley literally walked away from millions of dollars because the problems in the company outweighed the money. She says Michael Hayes made blatant racist comments to Lashley and told Lashley outright that he didn't like him.
