The scandal in WWE:
the founder Vince McMahon, accused by a former employee of trafficking in women.
The employee, Jenelle Grant, claims that McMahon pressured her to have sex with him and another WWE employee in exchange for her job.
In addition to her assault, Grant accuses McMahon of sex-trafficking in WWE.
The lawsuit, filed in federal court in Connecticut, alleges that Grant was hired by McMahon in 2019, after her parents died and she was unemployed.
"But what seemed like a dream in the spring of 2019 quickly turned into a nightmare," the lawsuit claims.

Grant claims that McMahon pushed her into a sexual relationship in exchange for the role, and soon "greeted her in her underwear, touched her, repeatedly asked for hugs and spent hours sharing intimate details about his personal life."
After she was hired, McMahon allegedly shared photos of Grant with WWE employees and other wrestlers, and "recruited people to have sex with Ms. Grant," including WWE employees.
She also claims that McMahon and another WWE executive sexually assaulted her "while colleagues were busy at their desks."
He later allegedly pressured Grant into signing a nondisclosure agreement after telling her his wife found out about their relationship.
"Ultimately, Ms. Grant succumbed to the pressure and signed the agreement in exchange for payments - which McMahon later stopped making," the lawsuit claims.
