Rita Chatterton

Rita Chatterton (born Rita Filicoski; January 22, 1957) She is divorced and has a daughter. She retired in 2018 due to an injury sustained from slipping on ice. An attorney for the promotion stated that she had been "fired for cause" in 1986, while another source states that she resigned from the company that year. As she remained a licensed referee, the New York State Athletic Commission sent her to work some smaller WWF events after 1986 but she declined to work shows where she knew McMahon would attend. She serves as a mentor at Leonard Inzitari's wrestling school.

Vince McMahon sexual assault allegation

In 1992, producers working for television personality and journalist Geraldo Rivera reached out to Chatterton regarding the rape allegation against McMahon. According to New York Magazine, her allegations did not get much coverage at the time due to the WWF facing other scandals, including allegations of steroid distribution and child sexual abuse allegations involving other WWF officials. Wrestler Leonard Inzitari corroborated her story in the piece. That December, Chatterton filed a lawsuit against McMahon, seeking $11.75 million in damages. McMahon settled it later that month, with his attorney stating that he maintains his innocence but settled to "avoid the cost of litigation". People familiar with the matter reported that McMahon agreed to a multimillion-dollar settlement. A year later, it was reported that the investigation had been dropped.
