Former NWA/WCW manager/valet Missy Hyatt did a shoot interview on the WSI YouTube channel about her career. Hyatt was asked to give her thoughts on Janel Grant’s allegations about Vince McMahon.
About the about the allegations, Hyatt said, “I believed everything. I believe it all. I believe — it did not shock me.” Hyatt continued, “Vince slept with everything. Vince slept with everything.”
She added, “He’s into threesomes and stuff and he’s just into a lot of weird stuff. It didn’t surprise me when I read that. I was just like yeah.”
Hyatt cast doubt on John Laurinaitis’ claim that he was a victim. Laurinaitis has since sided with McMahon against Grant. Hyatt also said that she had to deal with McMahon in the 80s during her short stint there when she was hired to do “Missy’s Manor” talking segments. The segments were meant to be a replacement for “Piper’s Pit” because Piper left the company after WrestleMania 3 to pursue a Hollywood career.
Hyatt said she reached out to Janel Grant’s lawyer: “I called their lawyer and I told them my situation and what happened with me…I had to push Vince out of my hotel room because he was trying to stick his tongue in my mouth. After I did that, the next thing I know is they want me to be a Federette and I’m like, I don’t want to be a Federette to take jackets. [They said] Oh we’re gonna do something with you and The Honky Tonk Man. I didn’t trust them. I left and had to go beg Jim Crockett and Dusty for a job.”
Hyatt elaborated on what allegedly happened with McMahon: “He was bringing me back. We were in Vegas shooting, doing the tapings. We were out and he taught me how to play blackjack. He gave me $100 and I won like $180 or something. I tried to give him all the money and he’s like, no keep it.” She continued, “We went to like a dinner at Caesar’s that they pour the wine over your shoulder. This was a big group of people and stuff. I remember I was wearing this leather dress and Mean Gene poured coffee in my lap…he said later on that they did that to see how I’d react, to see if I’d freak out. They were like oh yeah, you handled that really well…”
Hyatt said McMahon walked her to her hotel room. She continued, “He was trying to get in my hotel room and I was like pushing him out. I was engaged at the time [to Eddie Gilbert]. If I wasn’t engaged, maybe but [Vince] had such bad teeth. It’s like you’re a millionaire times over and you can’t get your teeth fixed? He’s got really bad teeth…he’s got like rotten teeth. It’s really gross. Maybe he’s gotten it fixed but back then in the 80’s it was really bad. I didn’t want to stick my tongue in that. I’ve never had to sleep for a job. Yes, I’ve done a lot of wild things with some wrestlers and stuff like that but I never did it for a job and I don’t think I ever had to because I think my talent speaks for itself so I never had to sleep anyway to get a job.”
A Missy’s Manor segment was taped on March 21, 1987 in Las Vegas. There were two other segments taped (March 22 in Phoenix and April 23 in Worcester). As she stated during her interview with WSI, she was soon gone from the company. The alleged incidents with McMahon that Hyatt described would have happened months after Rita Chatterton was allegedly raped by McMahon in a limo. McMahon has previously denied all wrongdoing.
