WWE Superstar and former champion Bray Wyatt has a whole new battle on his hands as his wife has filed for divorce and accused him of cheating. What makes this situation somewhat controversial for the WWE is that the lawyer for Wyatt’s wife, Samantha Rotunda, claims Wyatt cheated on her with 23-year-old WWE ring announcer JoJo Offerman.
Wyatt, 30, whose real name is Windham Rotunda, has denied the claim and says she is just trying to ruin his reputation.
31-year-old Samantha’s high-profile Miami lawyer, Ray Rafool, told DailyMail.com exclusively he obtained phone records showing that Wyatt is maintaining ‘continuous contact’ with Jojo.
According to Jim Knox, Bray Wyatt’s (Rotunda’s) attorney: ‘I do represent Mr. Rotunda in his dissolution of marriage case in Hernando County, Florida.
‘As you know, these cases involve the private lives of the participants and sometimes unpleasant disputes. I would ask that you respect the privacy of both litigants in this matter and I have no other comments to make.’
Jojo has not returned requests for comment, and Samantha referred questions to Rafool.
In his counter-petition for divorce filed in Hernando County, Wyatt requested an injunction to force his wife to keep quiet about the split.
He claims she made ‘defamatory statements about the husband to several people in the community in an effort to ruin his reputation.’
He also accuses her of posting lies on social media ‘in an effort to damage the husband’s business ventures in the entertainment industry.’
In legal papers, Samantha accuses Wyatt of ‘adultery and misdeeds’ and asks the judge to award her their marital home as well as child support and alimony. She also wants custody of the girls for a majority of the time.
Wyatt is a third generation grappler whose brother also wrestles for WWE under the name Bo Dallas.
According to the divorce petition, Samantha and Wyatt were married in 2012 and separated in March after she claims Wyatt walked out on her and their two daughters.
Offerman, who was once rumored to be linked to another WWE Superstar Randy Orton following the end of his marriage, has yet to comment publicly on the accusations.
UPDATE: A representative for Offerman has issued a statement on Instagram.
We’d like to address something relating to the story that has been spreading across social media as of today. Many of you may of read that the Daily Mail and countless other wrestling news websites have reported that JoJo has apparently been involved in an affair with her fellow co-worker Bray Wyatt. From the story, we can confirm that JoJo has NOT had an affair with Bray Wyatt. Don’t always believe in everything that is stated as true on the internet. JoJo is an extremely good person and certainly does not deserve to be insulted across social media for something she hasn’t done. Please show her nothing but kindness and love, all this hate she is receiving is unnecessary.
