Vince McMahon, Justine Sacco Used To Work Together At WWE, Vince McMahon and Justine Sacco used to work together at WWE. No joke!
As previously reported by The Inquisitr, Vince McMahon just got back to the states after filming the WWE Tribute To The Troops in the Middle East.
Justine Sacco started a firestorm on Twitter when she made this Tweet before leaving for Africa from London:
“Going to Africa. Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!”
Upon landing, Sacco, who was IAC’s senior director of corporate communications, first deleted the tweet and then her entire Twitter account. But the damage was already done and IAC fired her.
But the interesting part is that Justine Sacco joined IAC in September 2011 after working with Vince McMahon as a publicist at WWE. Why is this important? It just shows the type of work environment Sacco was used to working within. As a publicist for WWE, Sacco would have been used to a job where AJ Lee’s boy friend CM Punk could be called “f*ck face” as a friendly hello by a reporter.
You can’t argue with a straight face that WWE is politically correct (heck, McMahon even had the RAW announcers making fun of President Obama recently). To give you an idea how extreme things can be in the WWE, they faked Vince McMahon’s death by blowing up his limo and even convinced the world the story line was real for quite a while. WWE even scheduled tributes to McMahon from wrestlers and WWE stars mourning his death.
