Vince McMahon accused of sex trafficking by former WWE employee: report
A woman who once worked for World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (TKO) has accused its former chief executive Vince McMahon, the company and a former executive of sex trafficking in a lawsuit filed Thursday. Janel Grant claims in the suit she was abused and sexually exploited by McMahon, who promised career advancement. She also alleges McMahon exploited her and trafficked her to other men inside the company, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal. Grant signed a nondisclosure agreement in 2022 in which McMahon agreed to pay $3 million for her to not discuss their relationship or to disparage him. McMahon and his attorney were not immediately available for comment, the Journal said.
