Rita Ragone, a former hair stylist for the ESPN show Cold Pizza, has filed a sexual harassment suit against show hosts Jay Crawford and Woody Paige, ESPN, and Atlantic Video.The suit says that Crawford and Paige often said rude things to Ragone, cornered her, and that Paige once grabbed her rear so hard she jumped. She also says that ESPN executives told her not to make any trouble because the on-air talent was "untouchable." Crawford, Paige, and ESPN all deny the allegations.
Cold Pizza is no longer on the air, though Crawford still hosts another morning show on the network.
Vince McMahon accused

Fake wrestling promoter and all around bombastic personality Vince McMahon is
being accused by an employee of a Bocan Raton, Florida tanning salon of showing nude pictures of himself to her and
trying to kiss her. The 22-year-old alleges McMahon showed her naked pictures of himself on his mobile phone, then
followed her into a room and tried to kiss her and lift up her shirt. A customer who was there the same day described
McMahon, whom she didn't know from TV, as "nothing but a gentleman." As is always the case with stories like
this, the veracity of everyone's story has yet to be determined. McMahon has so far not been charged with anything.
