Heads-up - that article, and the full-length WSJ article it cites, are very NSFW and contain graphic descriptions of sexual assault and some of Vince’s sexual depravities. I could have lived and died without knowing some of these things. ---

[Moderating] There are no NSFW images, and the text is no more lurid than it needs to be to describe the alleged acts. Similarly-graphic text has appeared directly on this board. So I’m going to rule that our NSFW policy does not apply. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > I could have lived and died without knowing some of these things. You and I both. The actual court filing is even worse than the WSJ article. **IF** even the base allegation is true, this is damning even for HHH and possibly Stephanie along with other executives like Dunn, assuming they knew or even strongly suspected and looked the other way or stuck their heads in the sand. Note that this is NOT a criminal investigation, and is instead a civil matter, just like VKM’s role model is going through this same week. While horrific, and Vince et al should be thrown into a Death Valley ditch and forgotten about for the remainder of their miserable lives if true, Ms. Grant’s lawyers probably figured that the higher bar for proving this criminally would not be met. Lastly, my guess is that Saturday before the post-Royal Rumble press conference, there will be an off-camera statement that TKO/WWE cannot comment on ongoing litigation, and the viewers will probably not hear a single question regarding it. It is not like the people in that room are in any way, shape, or form real journalists or even journalist adjacent. It’s not a real press conference, just a continuation of the show. Here’s hoping that this voids any agreement Vince might have with Linda, and that Linda and Sable drive their respective husbands to the poor house, taking whatever might be left over after the trial. ---

According to Cornette, Vince and Linda’s marriage has been a sham for decades now and she’s probably past the point of caring. I don’t know how Brock and Sable are doing, but she probably isn’t going to be happy that he was offered a concubine as a bargaining chip and he was demanding pee videos from her. (Seriously, what is it with rich assholes and toilet fetishes? First Trump, now Vince and Brock - are we gonna find out next about the horrifying secret behind Jeff Bezos’ perfectly shiny scalp?) Daddy Ari needs to clean house of everyone who was one of Vince’s accomplices. ---

Vince’s response, unsurprisingly, is along the lines of his role model - “FAKE NEWS! SAD!” > **[WWE Chairman Vince McMahon Denies Sex Trafficking Allegations, Vows To Defend...](https://www.wrestlinginc.com/1502297/wwe-chairman-vince-mcmahon-denies-sex-trafficking-allegations-vows-defend/)** > > A spokesperson for Vince McMahon has issued an official statement following the news of a harrowing sex trafficking lawsuit. I hope to hear Cornette tear him a new one on his podcast - but then again, considering the reports about him and his wife in OVW, I wouldn’t be surprised if he turns out to have been in on Vince’s shenanigans at some point. Vince almost certainly didn’t wait until his 70s to start grooming vulnerable women to be his sex slaves. ---

Looks like Vince has cost WWE the Slim Jim account. > **[Slim Jim to ‘pause’ their sponsorship of WWE in wake of new Vince McMahon...](https://www.cagesideseats.com/wwe/2024/1/26/24052254/slim-jim-pulls-out-wwe-royal-rumble-sponsorship-after-vince-mcmahon-sex-trafficking-abuse-lawsuit)** > > A report went around earlier today that one of the company’s most well known partners would pull out of the Royal Rumble due to the sex trafficking & abuse case against McMahon, and Slim Jim has now confirmed that’s the case. ---

Now people are wondering if some of those rumors about sunny/tammy were true and about why moolah was around for so long ---

I’ve read that Vince Sr. told Vince to “take care of Moolah” when he took over the company. Of course, Moolah was also a sexual predator as has been well-documented, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the elder Vince was too. ---
