SUMMARY
- Vince McMahon has come under fire for reportedly s*xually abusing and trafficking a former employee.
- Despite all this, Tristan Tate is not entirely convinced of McMahon's reported wrongdoings.
Vince McMahon has endured a torrid time in the past few days. Owing to the recent allegations against him, the former WWE boss has been receiving a lot of heat online. However, as one particular entity suggests, there could be more to the tale than what the people know.
Recently, McMahon has come under fire for reportedly s*xually abusing and trafficking a former employee at the company. Notably, with his heavily controversial past and other scrutinizing stories, the 78-year-old has already been deemed guilty by many. All things considered, it is an easy conclusion to come to, considering the amount of evidence that has been made public by the victim in the case.
His motive? … Money? …
Look I don’t know @VinceMcMahon but I will state right NOW that I simply don’t believe these allegations.
Transformed sports entertainment and made billions legitimately.
But risked it all to sell some girls pussy for pocket money?
Absolutely no way. https://t.co/9Li70RMWtN pic.twitter.com/NnKtJaIH72

However, despite all this, Tristan Tate, Andrew Tate’s younger brother, is not entirely convinced of McMahon’s reported wrongdoings. “His motive? … Money? …Look I don’t know @VinceMcMahon but I will state right NOW that I simply don’t believe these allegations”. Further, the 35-year-old added, “Transformed sports entertainment and made billions legitimately. But risked it all to sell some girls pu*sy for pocket money? Absolutely no way.”
Previously, the social media influencer and his brother were arrested and subsequently detained by Romanian authorities in late 2022. Thereafter, they were put on house arrest, with authorities suspecting them of human trafficking and other illegal activities. Eventually, they were released from house arrest in August 2023, with less restrictive measures. Thus, Tristan’s stance on the matter is an understandable one.
Vince McMahon allegedly offered Janel Grant $3 million to sign NDA
As mentioned previously, Vince McMahon has been accused of s*xual assault and trafficking by a former WWE employee by the name of Janel Grant. Taking to the US District Court in Connecticut, Grant has filed a lawsuit against McMahon and another former employee, John Laurinaitis. According to the plaintiff, she was pressured into s*xual activities and harassment to progress her career at the company.
In the lawsuit, Grant has disclosed numerous messages sent to her by the former WWE chief, highlighting the disturbing nature of the activities she was forced into. Not only that, but the lawsuit also implicates WWE megastar Brock Lesnar, whom Grant was reportedly offered to, in order to re-sign him to the company. At the same time, many have wondered as to what made the former employee reveal all this information now.

As it turns out, Janel Grant was made to sign an NDA, keeping all the happenings from seeing the light of day. According to reports, the plaintiff was promised a sum of $3 million in damages but has only received $1 million to date. With McMahon having a reported net worth of $2.8 billion, the situation has been a little confusing, to say the least.
McMahon has resigned from TKO after allegations
In light of the recent accusations, Vince McMahon and TKO Group Holdings issued a statement. Soon thereafter, the former WWE CEO and TKO Group Holdings Executive Chairman revealed his resignation from the company. In a new statement, McMahon stated that he intends to ‘vigorously’ defend himself from the allegations.
As such, he revealed, “I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effectively immediately.” Keeping the best interests of the WWE Universe, TKO Group Holdings, and their shareholders, Vince would be vacating his position. In the meantime, fans have urged Stephanie McMahon and Triple H to take charge of the company.

“I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant’s lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth. I intend to vigorously defend myself… pic.twitter.com/xpEK5qnNpn

According to a report by Wrestling Inc., there is a feeling of relief within the company after McMahon’s departure. Similarly, fans on social media have echoed the same, with many suggesting that “McMahon got what was coming to him”. Currently, the situation is still unfolding, with major doubts that Vince will ever clear his name from this ordeal.
