In a dramatic turn that has rocked the professional wrestling world, Liv Morgan has filed a $100 million lawsuit against WWE and an as‑yet unnamed rising star, accusing them of broadcasting a “sensitive video” without her consent—an act she says has inflicted severe embarrassment, emotional distress, and reputational harm.
According to the legal complaint, the disputed footage was aired during a live broadcast, exposing Morgan in a private moment and subjecting her to public humiliation. The filing claims the video’s unexpected airing was a clear violation of her privacy and personal dignity. Morgan asserts that WWE, as her employer and broadcaster, bears significant responsibility for safeguarding her image and ensuring sensitive content is not misused.
Morgan’s legal team alleges negligence, breach of duty, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The complaint further names the rising star — whom Morgan claims played a role in leaking or facilitating the broadcast — as a co‑defendant. She seeks damages totalling $100 million, citing losses not only in reputation and mental well‑being, but also missed endorsement opportunities and long‑term harm to her career trajectory.
In her public statement, Morgan expressed shock and anguish at the event, declaring that she trusted the company to protect her dignity. She described the incident as “a betrayal of trust” and urged WWE to accept full accountability. Meanwhile, the rising star in question has not publicly responded to the allegations, and their identity remains unconfirmed.
WWE has issued only brief comment, stating it is “investigating the matter” and that it takes allegations of this nature seriously. The company has not yet provided a detailed defense or explanation for how the video aired and whether internal safeguards failed. Industry watchers speculate that WWE may face legal and reputational fallout depending on how evidence—such as internal production logs, communications, and video sourcing—is handled.
Legal analysts note that this case could set a precedent regarding privacy expectations for entertainers, especially in settings where performers are under constant surveillance or subject to backstage footage. If Morgan prevails, WWE (and possibly other promotion companies) may be forced to implement stricter policies and technical barriers to prevent unauthorized leaks or broadcasts.
As the lawsuit proceeds, all eyes in both the wrestling community and mainstream media will be on the courtroom drama. For Morgan, this battle is not just about financial compensation—it’s about restoring dignity, protecting her professional future, and sending a message that no one should be exploited or humiliated withou
t recourse.
