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.

Good question…

I’d like to see some of these false charges (if these indeed are) cost
the liar in prison for a decade or so.

No one complains about these acts until the next election year rolls around.

This is precisely why you don’t urge a judicial candidate to withdraw from
a race just because someone comes out of the woodwork twenty-five
years after a claimed incident. Judge Roy Moore…

It in outages a repeat. So here we are.

Is there any evidence -any- of this happened besides the word of this Golddigger?
And apparently, she was agreeing to threesomes with her boss? That’s taking her story at face value of course. There’s enough moral turpitude here to doubt her story. I would like to know more about her background also. I suspect this is about the end result of a extortion plot.

This is total bs. I've met this family and they are normal and good people.

Thank you. I read the article. It made me think, this didn’t happen, it did not pass my smell test or my gut intuition.

This kind of chicanery needs strong rebuke and punishment for the false accusations.

I think she’s a crazy gold digger, but I have no proof.

There is a lot to doubt in the more salacious aspects of this woman’s story but I bet she was sleeping with the boss which is a sure fire lawsuit these days. That said this woman needs to be told a grown woman having sex for money or advancement is not a victim, she is a prostitute.

People probably thought that way about a lot of priests too.

Interesting useless knowledge. My mom graduated high school with Vince in Havelock NC. Back in 89 I was watching WWF with my buddies. He was on TV and my mom said who’s that. I said Vince McMahon. She said that’s Vince Lipton. She brings out her Yearbook and showed me his picture. Sure enough it was him. He took on the McMahon name when he bought WWF from his dad.

The real crime is the quality of the WWE in the last 2 0 years.

I don’t remember the last time I saw WWE.
The last time I watched wrestling was WCW when Buff Bagwell
and Big Poppa Pump we’re champs.(maybe not even champs…)
