The wrestling world is abuzz with shockwaves following serious allegations of sexual trafficking and misconduct leveled against Vince McMahon, the prominent figure behind WWE, by former employee Janel Grant. The lawsuit, filed last week, implicates McMahon in sharing explicit content of Grant without her consent and alleges his involvement in instructing her to engage in sexual activities with other WWE employees, undisclosed executives, and stars.
Adding a new layer to the controversy, it has now been revealed that some WWE Divas allegedly left McMahon’s office in a distressed state. Dutch Mantell, speaking on Story Time With Dutch Mantell, shared insights into McMahon’s interactions with the Divas. According to Mantell, McMahon’s presence reportedly left some Divas in a manic state, shaking and visibly upset as they exited his office.
Mantell’s revelations shed light on the distressing atmosphere surrounding McMahon’s interactions with the female talent. He mentioned instances where Divas emerged from McMahon’s office visibly shaken and uncommunicative, suggesting an unsettling experience. The discussion also touched upon the tragic case of Ashley Massaro, a former top Diva during the height of the Divas era, who tragically took her own life in 2019. Mantell drew a connection between McMahon’s current legal troubles and the mention of Massaro, hinting at potential correlations.
‘‘I did hear how Vince was around the Divas, he would have them sometimes in a manic state. They would come out of the room sometimes with him shaking, then they would sit in the corner and not talk to anyone, but you could tell something between them that upset them. You remember the story about Ashley Massaro? She ended up killing herself, correct?”
Speculating on the unfolding situation, Mantell suggested that more stories involving McMahon might surface on social media and various podcasts. The recent allegations against McMahon seem to have opened the floodgates, with Mantell anticipating that people will come forward to share their experiences and stories related to the wrestling magnate.
“I think that they just turned to the first page of this. There are a lot more stories that will come out now, especially from social media and podcasts like this one. People will tell stories.”
Amidst the legal turmoil, some experts believe that the trafficking lawsuit may not reach trial. Additionally, there are indications that influential figures like Ari Emanuel are prepared to mitigate threats following McMahon’s resignation. The unfolding saga continues to grip the wrestling community, leaving many wondering about the fate of Vince McMahon in the coming months and the potential repercussions for the wrestling industry as a whole.
