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

WWE founder Vince McMahon resigned from his roles at the company and its parent company after being accused in a lawsuit of sexual assault, trafficking, and abuse by a former employee. McMahon denied the allegations but decided to step down out of respect for the company and its stakeholders. The lawsuit, filed by former employee Janel Grant, includes accusations of sex trafficking, civil battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence. McMahon had previously stepped down as CEO in 2022 after an investigation found that he had paid nearly $15 million to four women over 16 years to quiet claims of sexual misconduct.
