Former pro wrestler Joey Ryan, who has faced several accusations of sexual misconduct, worked briefly on the Jungle Cruise before he was dismissed.
Jungle Cruise riders pass a boatful of chimpanzees at the Disneyland attraction in July 2021.Meehan worked as a professional wrestler from 2000 until as recently as 2019, starting as a founding member of the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, making appearances in matches promoted by World Wrestling Entertainment and being featured in the National Wrestling Alliance. His wrestling persona was a macho, mustachioed playboy who wore Speedos and sunglasses.
In past social media posts, Meehan has denied the allegations of sexual harassment raised during the “Speaking Out” movement, which brought attention to allegations of sexual harassment and abuse in wrestling. He filed at least seven libel and slander lawsuits against the women who accused him of harassment.
Almost all of those lawsuits were either dismissed or not pursued by Meehan, according to court records. In one case, a judge threw out Meehan’s suit, citing an anti-SLAPP statute, which can be used to prevent powerful entities from intimidating critics for practicing free speech. Meehan’s attorney, Joe Utzurrum, said a federal court case filed by his client is pending.
Meehan’s short tenure at Disneyland comes as the park works to retrain and hire enough people to return to the full staffing of about 32,000 employees before the pandemic. The Disneyland resort, which now employs about 30,000 workers, is expected to reach full capacity levels this summer as demand for travel rebounds now that COVID-19 health restrictions have been lifted and masks are no longer required in the park.
