Oh Vinny boy, what have you gotten yourself into this time?
The Wall Street Journal released a report in June 2022 outlining that Vince McMahon
had paid a $3 million settlement to hide an affair with a former employee.
Interesting stuff. But it gets better... Emails obtained by the Wall Street Journal allege that
Vince McMahon hired the employee (who he was having an affair with)
at a salary of $100,000 and then increased her salary to $200,000 after they began a sexual relationship.
And to put the cherry on the cake, he handed down
his mistress to John Laurinaitis who happily settled for his sloppy seconds.
How is this lawsuit any different to his countless other ones? Well,
his own board of directors turned on him for a start.
He also stepped down as the CEO and Chairman of the WWE with his
daughter Stephanie replacing him as the interim CEO and the interim Chairwoman.
And that’s after Stephanie took a leave of absence just three weeks prior to
“focus on her family” but the actual reason may be a lot deeper than that…
But how has Vince reacted to this sexual misconduct allegation? Is he
cowering away in his little office watching Theory flex his muscles?
No. Quite the opposite actually! He’s been making appearances on RAW and SmackDown
acting like nothing is wrong. You can’t fire me; I am the WWE. I am the ladder.
It’s as if Vince McMahon knows he’s “untouchable.” After all, this is his third sexual misconduct allegation.
(That we know of)
The first one being in 1992 after female referee Rita Chatterton accused Vince
McMahon of rape on Geraldo Rivera’s show, Now It Can Be Told. She revealed that Vince forced
her to perform oral sex on him and then raped her in his limousine after she refused in 1986.
The second instance (because he didn't have enough the first time) was in 2006
when a salon worker accused Vince McMahon of groping her.
The 22-year-old employee revealed that Vince showed nude pictures of himself to her, tried
to kiss her and started inappropriately touching her body while she was cleaning his tanning bed.
Three strikes and you’re out, right?
After all the WWE released this statement: “The WWE and its Board of Directors take all
allegations of misconduct very seriously."
Vince McMahon has “pledged his complete cooperation to this investigation” and
has also “pledged to accept the findings and outcome of the investigation, whatever they are.”
Are you telling me from this statement that Vince
McMahon will accept responsibility? No, surely not. There’s no chance
in hell.
