WWE Smackdown superstar Matt Riddle posted a video on Twitter this morning denying the accusations of sexual assault.
Riddle has been accused repeatedly over the past few weeks since the #SpeakingOut movement began, and has repeatedly denied the allegations. His lawyer also sent out a letter denying the allegations.
However, Riddle does publicly admit to having an affair with the accuser, something that he is embarrassed about.
Here is a snippet from the statement and the full video.

“I never in my life have sexually assaulted a man, woman or anybody and that includes Samantha Tavel, Candy Cartwright.
I never sexually assaulted you. That story about that van trip and the driver being asleep and me forcing you to do stuff, hop on, whatever—it’s a complete lie. It’s a fabricated story because you’re still mad. You know why you’re mad? Because, yes, you’re right, we had an affair.
You have plenty of evidence of that, and I never denied it because it happened. Do I want to talk about it?
Do I really want to share about it? No. It’s embarrassing, I feel like a real piece of crap for cheating on my wife and doing that and now having to talk about it publicly.”
