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.

It seems like wrestling mirrored American society in a way.
Hulk Hogan, American good guy. Same for Sgt Slaughter.
Bad guys Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkov.
More recently themes were depraved, from second hand word of mouth.

The 80’s were the greatest time to grow up.

The 70’s was a really great time to grow up. In the 80’s the sex was still there but it came with the drugs.

It’s no longer a thing against white men.

Some serious crimes don’t have one.

This is a crime where I’d like a five or least ten year limit.

I don’t want a bad guy getting off, but he should be able to call witnesses or
crosse examine hers. The ability to defend yourself is key.

Guys are considered by women to be guilty until proven innocent,
and even the some women are convinced women never lie.

I can only share my personal experience. I thought Donald Trump was an a-hole for decades too.

I have always been a republican though :)
