    I’m not saying he’s definitely guilty, but if you had asked me, “who will be the next celebrity to be accused of sexual assault and human trafficking? The answer will not surprise you,” Vince McMahon would have been high on my list of guesses.

      High on the list because he’s done it before. There have been multiple, credible rape allegations against him since the 80s.

        Steroids. Lots and lots of steroids. His body is just bigger and makes his head look small.

    If anyone wants to hate this guy even more: listen to the Behind the Bastards episodes on this guy. It’s a 6-parter, so you know it’s going to be good.

      I’ll second that recommendation. That was one of the most interesting series BtB has ever done. I haven’t even been a wrestling fan since I was a kid but it was a fascinating look into the industry and what an absolute monster Vince McMahon has always been.

      Side note related to those Podcast episodes: FUCK Hulk Hogan for selling out Jesse Ventura and his peers who were trying to unionize. That piece of shit move caused an unimaginable amount of pain and suffering that could’ve been avoided had wrestlers been able to form a union and get fair pay and proper healthcare 35 years ago.

      I’m not even a wrestling fan but I did listen to all 6 parts of that and found it fascinating.

      Seems there needs to be a seventh episode. And I second u/ZeroCool’s sentiment: fuck Hulk Hogan.

      I felt like they didn’t go nearly as hard as they could have on him

    Citing an example of McMahon’s “extreme depravity,” on May 9, 2020, “he defecated on Ms. Grant during a threesome, and then commanded her to continue pleasuring his ‘friend’ — with feces in her hair and running down her back — while McMahon went to the bathroom to shower off,” the lawsuit says.

    Not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t that.

    ETA: Link to the complaint itself, which includes more details and screenshots of texts. It doesn’t reflect especially well on him: https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647/gov.uscourts.ctd.157647.1.0.pdf

    Honestly, the most surprising thing is that he hasn’t been convicted yet.

    Again? He has been accused of rape and abuse several times. He represents an unfortunate cycle of abuse.

      This is a woman that already won a civil case against him. She’s talking again because he stopped paying what she is owed.
      If you didn’t read the article or the court documents that were released I suggest preparing yourself. He tortured and raped her multiple times.

        See, I was going to ask how the fuck it’s possible torture and rape only lands you with a civil suit, but then I remembered what timeline we’re in.

        Untrue. He stopped paying hush money he promised her in exchange for her signing an NDA
