— Following the initiation of a new lawsuit against Vince McMahon and WWE, which includes serious allegations of sexual assault and trafficking, Slim Jim, one of the company’s sponsors, has released a statement. In the statement, Slim Jim announced a temporary halt to their promotional activities and partnership with WWE:
“Slim Jim places a high value on integrity and respect in all our partnerships. In light of the recent troubling allegations against Vince McMahon, we have decided to temporarily pause our promotional activities with WWE. This decision reflects our unwavering commitment to our brand values and our responsibility to the community.
We will closely monitor the situation and make future engagement decisions based on our values and what is in the best interest of our brand.”
— WrestleVotes reported earlier today that Slim Jim has chosen to withdraw its sponsorship for tomorrow’s Royal Rumble event. However, it remains uncertain whether they will reconsider engagement for future events.
