"WWE Founder Vince McMahon Resigns Amid Sexual Assault and Trafficking Allegations"

Vince McMahon has resigned from his role as executive chairman of TKO, the parent company of WWE, following disturbing allegations of sexual assault, trafficking, and physical abuse. The allegations came to light in a lawsuit filed by a former WWE staffer, Janel Grant, who worked at the headquarters of the wrestling behemoth McMahon founded. McMahon has denied the allegations and said he is prepared to defend himself in court, but has resigned out of respect for the WWE Universe and the TKO business. The lawsuit sheds new light on the extent of McMahon’s alleged misconduct, and raises questions about the culture at WWE, which Grant claims actively worked to conceal McMahon’s wrongdoing.
