WWE Denies Firing GC/EVP Over Sexual Harrassment Claim

World Wrestling Entertainment on Thursday denied a report from wrestling author Irv Muchnick that the company fired its general counsel over a sexual harassment claim.

In an e-mail to CorpCounsel.com, the WWE said general counsel Jared Bartie "was not terminated by WWE. Jared Bartie and WWE have parted ways amicably. James Langham is acting general counsel for WWE."

According to Muchnick's report, a female co-worker from the company's sales department accused Bartie, the WWE's executive VP and general counsel overseeing legal and business affairs, of making unwanted advances on her at a WrestleMania 26 after-party in late March 2010. Bartie had reportedly been drinking at the time of the incident...More?

Update on Linda McMahon's Senate Run

Election 2010: Predictions and predilections:

Much has been written, even here, about the Senate race, and it still is hard to call. I think Rob Simmons is a great patriot and was a fine Congressman. But he made two big mistakes — one was on the unionization bill known as “card check,” and the other was on “climate change.” He supported bills on both, and that is anathema for conservatives, who make up a large cohort at convention. Linda McMahon has wasted no little ink on reminding delegates of these votes, and I think that will propel her to a very close victory. There may yet be a primary, which I advise Simmons against. He simply cannot raise enough money to defeat her in such a race. Better for him to run for his old seat in the House, really. If McMahon gets the nod, her ace team — she has a Murderer’s Row of the sharpest consultants ever assembled here in Connecticut — will attack Blumenthal as a job-killer who has raised electricity rates for the State. Blumie will be flustered, and will falter. She has a 40 percent shot at victory at this juncture, but will be over 50 percent by Nov. 2.

Lillian Garcia Has A New Bodyguard

Lilian Garcia recently responded to Mick Foley coming to her defense in a blog for what he considered rude behavior on the part of Triple H during a recent WWE event. Click here for the story.

Garcia wrote:

"Mick Foley, this tweet's for you!! I really appreciate your kind words and the compassion you showed in your blog. Your care for my feelings proves what a loving, caring and wonderful human being you are. This is why I truly miss working with you. You are one of a kind!! Thank you, love you!!"

This story has really gotten blown out of proportion. Since when is Mick Foley ultra-sensitive to ribbing? And Lilian is so distraught, she waits until May 12th to comment on an incident that happened on April 19th? The "joke" wasn't even that funny. Get over it.
