Vince McMahon stepped down as CEO on Friday
reported on June 15 the investigation into McMahon was launched in April, and centers around his relationship with a former paralegal WWE hired in 2019. The report shows McMahon and the employee signed a separation agreement in January 2022 which stipulates she cannot disparage him or discuss their reportedly consensual relationship.
WWE’s board of directors first became aware of the alleged settlement earlier this year through a series of emails from an anonymous source who identified as the former WWE paralegal’s friend, per. The emails allege that the woman’s pay was increased from $100,000 to $200,000 after her relationship with McMahon began; the emails also reportedly allege the former paralegal was given to Laurinaitis “like a toy.
WWE confirmed the next steps in the investigation on Friday, and noted the company won’t comment until the investigation has been finished. “WWE and its Board of Directors take all allegations of misconduct very seriously,” the wrestling promotion said in a release. “The Independent Directors of the Board engaged independent legal counsel to assist them with an independent review. In addition, the Special Committee and WWE will work with an independent third-party to conduct a comprehensive review of the company’s compliance program, HR function and overall culture.
