TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A former WWE employee who claimed she received “hush money” from founder and longtime CEO Vince McMahon accused him of sexual abuse and trafficking.

According to a federal lawsuit filed Thursday, Janel Grant, who worked at the company’s headquarters, alleged that McMahon sexually exploited her and attempted to traffic her to other WWE employees.

The 67-page complaint details years of alleged abuse, largely at the hands of McMahon, 77, and the company’s former head of talent relations, John Laurinaitis.

Please define acronyms like WWE the fist time you use them in your article. Don’t make your readers who aren’t into wrestling have to research its meaning.

I have done contracts at WWE in the 90s and into 2001. I know Vince and John and find it VERY hard to believe this.

The entire crew at WWE are some of the best people I’ve met.

And as an i.t. support engineer, I get a deep look into the darkest corners on people’s lives. This company is not where such skeletons are found.

I call bs.

Whore wants to get paid.

“Janel Grant broke her silence about their relationship with disturbing allegations including charges that the wrestling magnate defecated on her head during a threesome in May 2020 and sex trafficked her to other WWE executives, according to the complaint filed in Connecticut federal court on Thursday.”

Ridiculous. Everyone knows you only poop on a chick’s head during 4 or more people gangbangs.

She's cute, but a ridiculous liar. Claims he "forced himself" on her like 20 times. I think an actual victim would probably have had enough after ONCE.

Hmm, sounds like the same person who wrote the Trump/Russian pee story wrote this one.

What is "fist time"? I can conjure up images but they're not appropriate here..

If you're going to attempt to chastise a poster, the least you can do is use proper spelling.......

It makes you look dumber than the individual you are attempting to criticize.....
