Vickie Guerrero & husband issue statement denying daughter’s sexual assault allegation

Vickie Guerrero and her husband have denied sexual assault allegations made by Guerrero’s daugher Sherilyn.

Guerrero and her husband Kris Benson have issued a statement on Vickie’s Instagram regarding her daughter’s allegations, denying them and asking for people to “withhold final judgment on this matter” until they bring the issue to “a court of law.”

“Kris and Vickie Benson vehemently deny Sherilyn Guerrero’s recent allegations of sexual assault and abandonment,” the statement reads. “Ms. Guerrero’s unsubstantiated accusations have caused the Bensons to suffer public ridicule, scorn, derision, and humiliation. Kris and Vickie fully appreciate the seriousness of allegations of this nature and the need for public support of sexual assault survivors; however, they ask that you withold final judgment on this matter until they have an opportunity to bring Ms. Guerrero and her claims into a court of law where judgment is based on facts and merit.”

In a TikTok video posted earlier this month, Sherilyn, the youngest daughter of Eddie Guerrero, accused Vickie’s second husband Benson of sexually assaulting her in 2020 while on a cruise. Sherilyn also said that her mother had cut off contact with her. Vickie initially responded to the allegations in a now-deleted Instagram post by accusing Sherilyn of being drunk while on the cruise and said she would see her in court, and they would no longer be related.

Shaul Guerrero, the oldest daughter of Vickie and Eddie, said that the sexual assault allegations that her sister had made were true in an Instagram post which has since been deleted.

“What my sister stated happened on the cruise was true. She did get SA’d by my stepfather,” Shaul wrote. “SA is NEVER okay and she has every right to talk about it. Was it rape…no. But it was unwanted touching which is absolutely unacceptable and traumatizing. This incident tore an even deeper wedge into our family than what was there before. My mother and sister have had a deeply tumultuous relationship for years, same with my sister and I. After this incident on the cruise we all went into various forms of therapy in order to heal.”

Shaul denied, however, Sherilyn’s accusations that her family had abandoned her.

“My sister has led the public to believe we abandoned her after the SA which is not true,” she wrote. “The family went into various forms of therapy and Mom & Kris helped Sherilyn get on her feet again by helping her financially as they have done for Sherilyn since she was 22. Does this solve the wounds-absolutely not, but she was not abandoned after this incident.”

Vickie Guerrero is still a part of AEW, where she manages Nyla Rose and Marina Shafir. However, she recently confirmed reports she will be leaving the company in July once her contract expires.
