Jonathan Coachman fires back at ESPN sexual harassment claims

After being named in a sexual harassment lawsuit against his old employers Monday, Jonathan Coachman fired back Tuesday morning in denying the claims.

On Monday, former ESPN employee Adrienne Lawrence filed a lawsuit in federal court against ESPN, claiming the company fostered a culture that empowered sexual harassment and discrimination, using Coachman, Chris Berman, John Buccigross, and others as examples of the problem.

On Twitter, Coachman, now a broadcaster with WWE, responded to someone asking a question about Lawrence’s claims:

Lies and flat out fabrications is not ok and it’s time someone stood up for themselves. @jemelehill addressed her lie last night. I am not a part of this lawsuit because I have never done anything wrong. My reputation speaks for itself and anyone that has ever worked with me https://t.co/4NYsZjK2C6

Will back that up. I am also offended that someone can dangerously throw peoples names into something for the clear attempt at getting headlines. This the only time I will address this because I am not a part of this lawsuit. My heart goes out to anyone falsely accused of https://t.co/4NYsZjK2C6
