Austin Aries 'Severely Fined' For Sexual Harassment
Austin Aries was fined over his incident with Christy Hemme on last week's iMPACT! Wrestling. To recap, Aries was coming out to the ring for his tag team match and Hemme screwed up the ring intro. Aries then backed Hemme into a corner and climbed the second rope, putting his crotch in Hemme's face. When asked about it on Twitter, Hemme called the incident "unacceptable" while Aries made a joke about it on the social media site.
Since then, both Spike TV and Dixie Carter condemned the incident and said it would be dealt with. Now, TMZ reports that Aries privately apologized to Hemme and acknowledged that it was over the line. TNA has fined Aries, though it is unclear how much.
Hemme has spoken with TNA and said she was "satisfied" with Aries' apology.
