Late WWE Star Ashley Massaro Named in Newly Released Jeffrey Epstein Files

The late WWE superstar Ashley Massaro, who tragically died by suicide in 2019, has been named in a newly released batch of Jeffrey Epstein–related documents, raising renewed questions about allegations tied to Epstein’s wider network.

Millions of pages connected to Epstein were recently made public by the Department of Justice. Within those materials is a complaint related to Ghislaine Maxwell, submitted to then–Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Audrey Strauss. The document includes disturbing claims from an anonymous accuser that reference Massaro by name.

In the complaint, the claimant alleges conversations involving extreme abuse connected to Epstein’s private island and claims that Massaro may have previously worked for Maxwell. The filing includes the following passage, attributed to the anonymous individual and presented without verification:

“…She mentioned horrible things happening in the island and including [sic] dead body of a girl that had mask and was tied to a tree. She said that the one from London was very mean and also the one from Miami. Also that the man in the mention was making her f** black guys and he liked to watch it, she was young – high school student… she also said that her friend Ashley Massaro (who died in 2019 – the WWE) got pregnant in high school. They both worked for Maxwell and Mechella from Miami Florida.”*

It is important to note that the complaint reflects allegations made by an anonymous claimant and does not represent proven facts or legal findings against Massaro. No evidence has been presented publicly confirming that Massaro worked for Ghislaine Maxwell or was directly connected to Epstein’s operations.

The resurfacing of Massaro’s name in these files has drawn attention in part because she had previously gone public with allegations of abuse. In 2016, Massaro submitted a sworn affidavit as part of a lawsuit against WWE, stating that she was drugged and sexually assaulted during a 2006 WWE tour of Kuwait. WWE has denied those claims, and the lawsuit was later dismissed.

The new documents do not introduce charges against Massaro, nor do they allege wrongdoing by her. Instead, her name appears in the context of an unverified account describing broader alleged abuse tied to Epstein and Maxwell.

As with many names referenced in the Epstein files, inclusion alone does not imply guilt, involvement, or confirmation of events. The documents largely reflect claims, testimony, or third-party statements that have not been adjudicated in court. The mention of Ashley Massaro is likely to reignite conversations around her past allegations, her treatment during her wrestling career, and the broader questions surrounding abuse, accountability, and the handling of such claims.
