WWE Star Montez Ford Sued Over Alleged S3xualised Dance During Live Netflix Broadcast
WWE star Montez Ford, whose real name is Kenneth Crawford, is facing a lawsuit filed by a security guard who accused him of performing an alleged sexualised lap dance during a live broadcast of Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
The security guard, Noel Lucas, accused Ford and World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress and other claims, according to a lawsuit filed on Wednesday in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.
Lucas alleged that the incident occurred on July 6 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, as Ford and his Street Profits tag-team partner, Angelo Dawkins, made their entrance ahead of a televised match.
According to the lawsuit, Lucas, an officer with the Cook County Sheriff’s Department who was working off-duty security at the event, claimed Ford approached him without warning or consent and began dancing in what he described as a sexually provocative manner.
The complaint alleged that Ford repeatedly thrust and gyrated his hips and pelvis towards Lucas, performing what the lawsuit described as a sexualised lap dance.
Lucas further claimed that Ford moved progressively closer during the dance, with his left inner thigh allegedly rubbing repeatedly against the security guard’s leg.
The lawsuit reportedly contains 14 counts, including alleged violations of the Illinois Gender Violence Act.
The allegations are claims made in a civil lawsuit and have not been established in court.
