career since she left the company. After leaving the WWE, Massaro sought help from the WWE, which she worked out with Anne Russo Gordon (a Manager of the WWE Talent Relations Department). Gordon ran the “WWE Former Talent Rehab Program” which treated Massaro for drug addiction in September 2010. Massaro is also scheduled to have knee surgery in November 2016 for her wrestling injuries which is paid for under New York’s Medicaid program. Massaro believes her problems related to the medicines that she began taking to treat her numerous worked related injuries. During her tenure at WWE she was seen and treated by WWE Dr. Rios who shot her with cortisone as well as prescribed pain medications and muscle relaxers. She describes Dr. Rios as a “good man under the thumb of the WWE” who did his best to care for wrestlers like herself despite the pressure by the WWE to have her perform with injuries. She cites the culture of the WWE as indifferent the safety and health of performers who are unaware of their rights and that the WWE did not report her injuries or accidents to OSHA or public health officials. Massaro even related an incident while she was on a WWE Middle East tour, in which she was sexually assaulted on a military base in Kuwait. Upon her return to the United States, she was seen by Dr. Rios who interviewed her about the incident. Dr. Rios reported the incident to WWE executives who soon thereafter met with Massaro to apologize for their negligence but persuaded her that it would be best not to report it to appropriate authorities. This incredible situation derives from the WWE’s employment misclassification scheme wherein the WWE (deems itself) neither responsible for Massaro’s safety (despite being on a WWE tour in the Middle East) nor does the WWE deem itself responsible to report or collect data 81
