TL;DR Summary

Vince McMahon, former chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment, resigned from the board of its parent company, TKO Group, following a federal lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking. The lawsuit, filed by a former employee, alleges that McMahon and another executive raped her and subjected her to physical and emotional abuse. McMahon denied the allegations, calling the lawsuit a "vindictive distortion of the truth," but resigned "out of respect" for the company, its employees, and wrestlers. This comes after previous accusations of sexual misconduct and a history of substantial payments to women who accused him of such behavior.
