New report claims Vince McMahon agreed to pay $12 million in hush money to four women

As previously reported via WSJ.com, WWE board members are “investigating a secret $3 million settlement that longtime chief executive Vince McMahon agreed to pay to a departing employee with whom he allegedly had an affair, according to documents and people familiar with the board inquiry.”

WSJ.com has published a new article regarding the investigation. It is being claimed that Vince McMahon agreed to pay $12 Million in hush money to four women over the course of 16 years. Here is an excerpt…

“The payouts went to four women, all formerly affiliated with WWE, WWE who signed agreements with Mr. McMahon that prohibit them from discussing potential legal claims against or their relationships with the 76-year-old executive, according to people familiar with the deals as well as documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.”

It was noted that a $7.5 million dollar pact was made with a former wrestler that claimed McMahon coerced her into oral sex but was then demoted. After resisting more sexual encounters, he allegedly declined to renew her contract in 2005. The wrestler and her attorney were said to have approached McMahon in 2018 to negotiate a payment in return for her silence.

Another incident involves alleged unsolicited nude photos that were sent to a contractor from McMahon.
