Peyton Manning might be enjoying the spotlight as the Broncos have just won the championship at the recently concluded Super Bowl but this does not mean he won’t be hit with a scandal or two-which is what is happening right now with the recently resurfaced sexual harassment allegations from his time at the University of Tennessee.

That light has somewhat dimmed now.
Naughright also details how she was approached by two members of the school to blame the incident on someone else instead of Manning, a black student, but she refused.
In May 2002, Naughright made a decision to file a defamation lawsuit against Peyton Manning, Archie Manning, John Underwood, and the company that published the book, HarperCollins. That case was settled in 2003, the AP reports.
According to Anita Wadhwani and Nate Rau of The Tennesseean, the suit cites almost a dozen student athletes who were accused of sexual assault in the 1990s, with Manning’s 1996 incident being one of them.
Manning denied the trainer’s claims, saying he was simply “mooning” another athlete who was in the room. The Title IX lawsuit says Manning had “sat on her face” while she was assessing the extent of an injury.
Shaun King of the New York Daily News wrote an article revealing well-hid secrets of Peyton Manning’s sexual assault allegations from his time in college at the University of Tennessee. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback has been named in a new sexual harassment lawsuit against the University of Tennessee, his alma mater.
Whited, now Jamie Naughright, said in the investigative report by the university that she was treating Manning’s foot when he began “asking me several personal questions” including whether she “hang(s) out with people she works with”.
There has been plenty of speculation about Manning’s future after his football days are over.
Both Manning and Makanjuola have denied the allegations.
The Mannings made up a story about Naughright calling other players expletives to corroborate the assertion in the book “Manning” that she “had a vulgar mouth”, and no one who was present corroborated this story under oath.
To review in chronological order, Manning was allegedly involved in an illicit incident with Naughright in November, 1994.
Here’s the Manning paragraph in the first suit, filed last week. It’s sexual assault. The fact that Clay Travis is implying this behavior is something akin to say, hiding a fish in someone’s locker or placing chewing gum on someone’s baseball cap, demonstrates an astonishing callousness about what happened to Naughright.
King also goes into great detail in the piece about how the Manning family has attempted to cover-up the incidents.
Q: What did Mr. Manning say, if anything, to you after you told him he was an ass?
Those allegations surfaced in December in an Al-Jazeera report that said Manning’s wife had received deliveries of HGH, which is banned by the National Football League, while he was recovering from neck surgery during his tenure with the Indianapolis Colts. The book discussed the interactions between Naughright and athletes.

“Even if it’s 20 years old, even if he was in college, I still think it resonates in large part because of the image he has created for himself”, Christine Brennan, USA Today columnist, told Good Morning America. Please see our terms of service for more information.
