Vince McMahon | Former employee claims WWE “sought to conceal" McMahon's alleged sex trafficking

Editor’s Warning: This story includes details of a disturbing nature.

A former World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) employee has sued Founder Vince McMahon for sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking, claiming WWE "actively sought to conceal the wrongdoing.”

The lawsuit, filed on Thursday and first reported by The Wall Street Journal, includes accusations from former employee Janel Grant that McMahon offered her long-term employment and promotion opportunities in exchange for a physical relationship.

McMahon resigned from his post as Chair at WWE's parent company TKO Group Holdings on Friday.

The suit claims that she was trafficked to workers inside the company, such as former Wrestler John Laurinaitis, who worked in the WWE talent relations department.
