Two adults engaged in a consensual relationship and one was paid $3 million to be discreet about it. It may be unprofessional, but as long as no one was forced into anything unwillingly, and private funds were used to secure the NDA, it is no one's business but the two parties involved, yet the media loves to use the term "scandal" as often as possible. If company funds were used (doubtful), then McMahon will need to reimburse the company and everyone can move on. The recipient of the payoff hit the lottery, but apparently needed the media attention as well.

If only the media were as diligent about investigating all of the payouts (with taxpayer dollars) made by members of congress over the last several decades to make allegations of sexual harassment go away, but no one wants to touch that as it would thoroughly embarrass too many 'prominent' current and former members of congress both alive and dead (Ted Kennedy).

IF he used company funds to keep her quiet, then that is a big problem.
