Wrestler Montez Ford sued over alleged ‘lap dance’ on security guard during live broadcast

WWE star Montez Ford is being sued by a security guard who claimed he performed a “sexualized lap dance” on him during a live Netflix broadcast of “Monday Night Raw.”

The security guard, Noel Lucas, accused Ford, whose real name is Kenneth Crawford, and the WWE of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and other claims, according to the lawsuit filed on Wednesday, which was obtained by Post Wrestling and confirmed by The Post.

Lucas alleged the incident happened as Ford and his Street Profits tag team partner, Angelo Dawkins, were making their entrance before their televised match at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois, on July 6 2026.

Lucas, an officer with the Cook County Sheriff’s Department who was working off-duty security at the event, claimed Ford approached him without warning or consent and started dancing in a “sexually provocative” manner.

“Defendant Crawford then began performing a sexually provocative dance immediately in front of and over Plaintiff, repeatedly thrusting and gyrating his hips and pelvis towards Plaintiff, performing a sexualized ‘lap dance,'” the lawsuit filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County stated.[Lucas]

Lucas claims Ford moved increasingly closer as the dance continued and that his “left inner thigh repeatedly rubbed against Plaintiff’s leg.”

The lawsuit lists 14 counts, including violations of the Illinois Gender Violence Act.
