Vince McMahon to Pay $1.7 Million Over Hush-Money Agreements
He still faces a civil lawsuit from a former WWE employee accusing him of sexual assault and trafficking.
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced on Friday that it has settled its charges against McMahon related to alleged hush-money payments made on behalf of himself and the WWE. However, as a community note on X was quick to point out, McMahon still faces a lawsuit for sexual assault and trafficking from former WWE employee Janel Grant. “The SEC’s charges prove that the NDA Vince McMahon coerced Ms. Grant into signing violates the law, and therefore her case must be heard in court,” Callis said, claiming that Grant’s legal team is ready to bring forward “new evidence” for her lawsuit as “prosecutors for the Southern District of New York continue their criminal investigation.” McMahon, who stepped down from WWE parent company TKO in January 2024 after years of misconduct allegations, has denied wrongdoing and claimed that Grant’s lawsuit is “replete with lies.”
