Former WWE Star Calls Entertainment Industry “Human Trafficking Business” and Suggests Accountability Coming for WWE

Former WWE talent Low Ki, real name Brandon Silvestry, isn’t holding back. In a recent appearance on That’s Wrestling!, the wrestling veteran made explosive claims against Vince McMahon and the wider entertainment industry.

“The entertainment business is a human trafficking business… it’s a soft version of human trafficking,” Silvestry stated, pulling no punches as he delved into WWE’s alleged history of manipulation and exploitation.

Silvestry, best remembered for his stints in TNA and ROH as well as wrestling in WWE under the name Kaval from 2008 to 2010, took aim at fans who label ex-WWE stars “bitter” for speaking out. He suggested these fans might not want to face the reality that they are “complicit” in the industry’s practices.

Adding fuel to the fire, Silvestry hinted at knowledge of unsettling details involving former WWE star Ashley Massaro, though he stopped short of revealing specifics.

“You’re gonna start hearing about the stuff that went on in the 1980s. The 1990s ain’t any better,” he warned. “Now you get to the 2000s and you got stuff that’s a little closer to today’s modern world, especially with the women who were involved, like Ashley Massaro. Ohhh, somebody’s gonna be mad at somebody … [because] it looks like accountability could be on its way to all of them.”

Massaro’s story has already shaken the industry to its core. In a 2016 lawsuit, she alleged she was “drugged and sexually assaulted” during a WWE morale-boosting trip to the Middle East in 2006. According to court documents, WWE executives, including John Laurinaitis, were reportedly aware of the situation but did nothing.

Now, with fresh attention sparked by Janel Grant’s recent accusations, Massaro’s claims have resurfaced, along with reminders of WWE’s infamous ring boy scandal from the ’80s. Lawyers involved in the ring boy case believe these combined allegations could escalate to federal racketeering charges against Vince McMahon himself.

The entertainment industry may be facing a reckoning, and Low Ki’s words echo the growing calls for transparency and justice.
