McMahon allegedly paid off numerous mistresses and keeping it off the books.
He had four mistresses. He paid over $12 million to keep them quiet.
Over the past 16 years, McMahon suppressed allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity, the Wall Street Journal reports. He has been doing it for decades. Don't believe the 16 years nonsense. He literally had allegations going back to the 1980s.
The amount is significantly larger than what was previously known.
Four women — all formerly affiliated with WWE — signed agreements with McMahon, 76, that bar them from discussing their relationships with him, the Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the deals and documents it reviewed.
McMahon stepped down as CEO and chairman of WWE in mid-June during an investigation into the alleged misconduct and the Journal reported at the time that he had agreed to pay $3 million to a former paralegal who said he sexually harassed her on the job. This mistress went on record and accused him of being a sexual predator. McMahon will continue to oversee WWE's creative content during the investigation.
So that's apparently why Stephanie McMahon took a leave of absence. It was because of her dad having an affair with one of her workers. She took over as interim CEO. She is married to former WWE wrestler Triple H.
McMahon's wife Linda is former Small Businesses Administration official under Washed Up 45. She is a top lead in the Save America PAC and is a top executive for WWE.
He has cheated on her for years and stayed with him. Of course, the far right obsessed with former president Bill Clinton's alleged affairs and why Hillary Clinton stayed.
Birds of a feather. |
Washed Up 45 allegedly cheated on the former first lady. He has been accused of being a sexual predator as well.
Vince McMahon has been the leader and most recognizable face at WWE for decades.
When he purchased what was then the World Wrestling Federation, from his father in 1982, wrestling matches took place at small venues and appeared on local cable channels.
WWE matches are now held in professional sports stadiums and the organization has a sizeable overseas following. It has a broadcast partnership with the Saudi media company MBC Group.
The organization underwent a seismic transformation under McMahon with events like WrestleMania, a premium live production that draws millions of fervent viewers.
Revenue last year exceeded $1 billion for the first time and the company has television deals with Fox and NBCUniversal. Last month it announced a multi-year expansion of its original programming partnership with A&E.
WWE stars have become crossover sensations, including Hulk Hogan, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and John Cena.
Shares of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., based in Stamford, Connecticut, dropped 2% on Friday.
