WWE has attempted to keep the focus on the positives instead of the allegations made against Vince McMahon, both publicly and privately, with only a few stars talking about it publicly.
Suit
McMahon resigned from all his roles within TKO, including TKO Executive Chairman and on the TKO Board of Directors, after the lawsuit that alleged him to be involved in a sex trafficking and abuse scandal from a former WWE employee, Janel Grant. The company and former exec John Laurnatis were also named in the suits.
The allegations are being investigated by prosecutors in New York who have been in contact with women who have accused the former WWE CEO. TKO CEO Ari Emanuel and TKO President and COO Mark Shapiro called McMahon to tell him it would be in the company’s best interest for him to resign in the wake of the allegations.
Comment
Seth Rollins was on the Maggie and Perloff show this morning, where he was asked about the allegations. He said, “It’s awful. It’s terrible. I hate it. It’s a disgusting situation.”
