Ms Grant alleges Mr McMahon pressured her into resigning from WWE and signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for a lump sum of $3m (£2.5m) after his wife found out about their relationship in 2022.

NDAs, also known as “gagging orders” or “hush agreements”, are contracts between employees and companies preventing staff from making information public.

Ms Grant is asking the court to invalidate the NDA under federal law, claiming the defendants had violated the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act. She is also seeking unspecified monetary damages.

I have not done any digging into this specific instance but McMahon is such a huge, disgusting, and vile piece of human refuse. This is exactly the kind of thing I would expect him to do.

He needs to gone about two decades ago.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Former WWE employee Janel Grant accuses them both of trafficking her to other men “as a sexual pawn to entice world-famous wrestling talent”.

She says she was pressured into a physical relationship with the WWE chief executive in exchange for promises of employment, alleging she felt trapped “in an impossible situation… submitting to Mr McMahon’s sexual demands or facing ruin”.

He “expected and directed Ms Grant to engage in sexual activity at the WWE headquarters, even during working hours”, the case document reads.

Ms Grant alleges Mr McMahon pressured her into resigning from WWE and signing a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) for a lump sum of $3m (£2.5m) after his wife found out about their relationship in 2022.

Ms Grant is asking the court to invalidate the NDA under federal law, claiming the defendants had violated the Trafficking Victims Prevention Act.

In Thursday’s legal filing, Ms Grant called the WWE’s special committee investigation “a sham” and accused the company of attempting to “sweep the matter under the rug”.

I don’t think an NDA is valid if it was obtained for illegal acts. She may have just found out that fact.

Why is that all you rape apologists always sound alike?

She explicitly stated the sex acts were not consensual, as she was coerced into doing them. She further states that she was sexually trafficked, i.e “sold” to other men because of that coercion. Shes far from the only women to talk about the toxic and vile environment that is the WWE, and we even have clear evidence that she was paid millions of dollars in an attempt to hide what happened to her.

What in the living possible fuck about the above could possiblity be okay?
