WWE CEO Vince McMahon is facing serious allegations in a lawsuit filed on Thursday. The lawsuit accuses McMahon of sexual assault, trafficking, and both physical and emotional abuse of a former employee at the wrestling company. The plaintiff, Janel Grant, claims that McMahon instructed her to engage in sexual activities with a WWE “superstar” and other men. She is seeking to invalidate a nondisclosure agreement she signed with McMahon in early 2022.
According to Grant’s lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Connecticut, McMahon had agreed to pay her $3 million as part of the agreement, but only ended up paying her $1 million in exchange for her silence about his behavior.
In addition to McMahon, the complaint also names WWE and John Laurinaitis, the company’s former head of talent, as defendants.
