A second new interview with Randy Orton discussing the allegations made against Vince McMahon came out today.
Allegations
The former WWE Champion previously spoke about the lawsuit alleging that McMahon had been 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 suit, something that the feds are looking into.
While speaking with Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post, Orton admitted he’s seen the horrible things online that he doesn’t want to believe because McMahon has done so many things for him. He said without McMahon, he wouldn’t have had the chances that he did in WWE. He also knows he wouldn’t be in the spot that he’s in without McMahon.
Comments
“So part of me wants to not believe it, and then the other part of me understands that he could have done all these wonderful things for me and the business and created this amazing thing that will go on and on well after he’s gone, but on the other hand he’s human and he made some f–king terrible mistakes.”
Orton said there are three sides to a story – their side, the other side, and then the truth. He thinks there has to be more to come out before he can speak on any of it, and that would be the case for any talent that is asked.
“I do know about Vince McMahon, the man that I’ve known for the past 24 years personally, and I owe him for everything he’s done for me. I say that with conviction because I won’t be in this position without a lot of help from him. But if these allegations are true, then it’s some horrible s–t right there. I’m torn. It’s hard.”
