-- In the light of the new lawsuit launched against Vince McMahon and WWE alleging serious cases of sexual assault and trafficking, one of the company's sponsors, Slim Jim, has issued a statement indicating that they have paused their promotional activities and partnership:
"Slim Jim values integrity and respect in all of our partnerships. Given the recent disturbing allegations against Vince McMahon, at this time we've decided to pause our promotional activities with WWE. This decision reflects our commitment to our brand values and responsibility to our community.
We will continue to monitor the situation and base our future engagements on our values and what’s best for our brand."
-- Earlier today, the WrestleVotes account reported that Slim Jim had decided to pull their sponsorship for tomorrow's Royal Rumble event but it remained unclear if they would re-engage for future events.
