He has denied the sexual abuse and trafficking allegations levelled by former employee Janel Grant. Ms Grant said that her former boss trafficked her as a “a pawn to secure talent deals” with prospective wrestlers the company was trying to court. She is seeking to void a nondisclosure agreement that she reached with Mr McMahon in 2022. He reportedly offered to pay her $3m for signing the NDA, but Ms Grant claims he only paid her $1m and refused to make further payments. In her lawsuit, Ms Grant said that the former WWE CEO befriended her in 2019 when the two lived in the same apartment building.
