Ms Grant alleges Mr McMahon pressured her into resigning from WWE and signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for a lump sum of $3m (£2.5m) after his wife found out about their relationship in 2022.
NDAs, also known as “gagging orders” or “hush agreements”, are contracts between employees and companies preventing staff from making information public.
Ms Grant is asking the court to invalidate the NDA under federal law, claiming the defendants had violated the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act. She is also seeking unspecified monetary damages.
Why is that all you rape apologists always sound alike?
She explicitly stated the sex acts were not consensual, as she was coerced into doing them. She further states that she was sexually trafficked, i.e “sold” to other men because of that coercion. Shes far from the only women to talk about the toxic and vile environment that is the WWE, and we even have clear evidence that she was paid millions of dollars in an attempt to hide what happened to her.
What in the living possible fuck about the above could possiblity be okay?
I looked more into it, and the guy has a really shady history of this kind of nonsense, so I’m going to side with Ms. Grant here. I still would like to see more evidence, and I’m guessing that evidence will implicate more than McMahon.
Let’s do a thought experiment then.
Let’s assume McMahon is innocent of the allegations (as innocent as a cheating husband can be), which we should do because we as a society believe suspects are innocent until proven guilty. So let’s assume he’s innocent, what would he do if caught cheating on his wife? Pay off the girl to prevent further embarrassment to the family. And what would the girl (or boy, if the roles were reversed) do if snubbed by a public figure that’s tossing her out? Threaten to go public if he doesn’t pay enough, and follow through to get some crowd funding or something.
So no, I’m not just going to believe someone when there’s such a disparity in power. Regardless of whether he’s innocent, his career is over as soon she goes public. I guess he could sue her for libel, but I doubt he’d bother because she doesn’t have much money to lose.
So no, I’m going to assume he’s innocent until proven guilty, barring any further evidence.
That said, I found further evidence, so now I think he’s likely guilty.
