Last week, news broke that Vince McMahon was being sued by Janel Grant, a former employee he allegedly abused. Subsequently, he would resign from his position at WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings, although he would deny the horrific claims via a spokesperson. And now it has been reported by the Wall Street Journal that McMahon is officially under federal investigation for sex trafficking after a federal search warrant and subpoena was served last year. Additionally, it was confirmed authorities have spoken to other potential victims.
“The other women named in the grand jury subpoena include a WWE contractor whom McMahon allegedly sent unsolicited nude photos and sexually harassed; a former WWE wrestler who said McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex; former WWE referee Rita Chatterton, who publicly accused McMahon of raping her; a spa manager who said McMahon assaulted her at a Southern California resort; and a former WWE employee who alleged the head of talent relations at the company at the time, John Laurinaitis, demoted her after she broke off an affair with him.”
WSJ.comWhen it first became public that 78-year-old McMahon had been paying women hush money due to his inappropriate behavior, he retired from WWE in disgrace. Yet, he would soon maneuver his way back into a position of power when the heat died down. However, with him no longer having voting power and the full extent of his claimed depravity now known, it seems doubtful he will ever be involved with WWE again.
