In a recent appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, former WWE writer Vince Russo discussed Vince McMahon’s tendency to book himself into segments with female talent, where he would often grope or kiss them on screen. Russo stated that this created uncomfortable situations for the women, who felt they couldn’t say no to being involved with McMahon. He emphasized that he didn’t want to write those storylines for the female talent, recognizing the difficult position they were placed in. He remarked on the topic (via WrestlingInc.com):
As a writer, I could have never written any of our female characters in that position because they couldn’t have said ‘no.’ They would have had to say ‘yes’ because it was with Vince McMahon and they would have thought if they didn’t do this, they were going to be fired… He put all those females in a situation where they could not say no because they felt like their job was on the line.”
The former WWE Chairman is currently facing a civil lawsuit from former WWE employee Janel Grant, who has made allegations of sexual misconduct and sexual trafficking. This lawsuit is currently on hold while a federal investigation into Vince McMahon is ongoing. The life and career of McMahon, including the details of the recent lawsuit, are explored in the new Netflix docuseries Mr. McMahon, which is now available for streaming.
Blue Techker Vince definitely has a history of putting women in bad situations.
Thinker Pedia This McMahon story is crazy.
