Vince McMahon, the chairman of TKO Group Holdings and the founder of WWE, has recently resigned amid a lawsuit filed against him by a former employee accusing him of sexual abuse and trafficking. The lawsuit, filed by Janelle Grant in US District Court in Connecticut, alleges that McMahon subjected her to physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault, and trafficking while she worked at the company.
According to Grant's attorneys, McMahon pressured her into signing a non-disclosure agreement in exchange for payments, which he later stopped making. They also claim that McMahon forced Grant into a sexual relationship to maintain her job and shared explicit photos and videos of her with other individuals, both within and outside of WWE. Grant's attorney states that McMahon exercised complete control over her personal and professional life, subjecting her to acts of cruelty and degradation that left her dissociated and numb.
