Vince McMahon has said and done a lot of things while owning the WWE and now it seems he is finally going to be canceled out for his behavior.

Last month, it was reported that the WWE board was investigating a relationship between CEO Vince McMahon and a now-former employee, with that including a secret $3 million January settlement with a non-disclosure agreement.

McMahon, the now former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, reportedly paid more than $12 million in the last 16 years to quiet sexual misconduct and infidelity allegations, per The Wall Street Journal.

One payment involving a former WWE wrestler particularly stands out:

“Vince McMahon, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc.’s longtime leader, agreed to pay more than $12 million over the past 16 years to suppress allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity, an amount far larger than previously known.
The payouts went to four women, all formerly affiliated with 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.
The previously unreported settlements include a $7.5 million pact with a former wrestler who alleged that Mr. McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex and then demoted her and, ultimately, declined to renew her contract in 2005 after she resisted further sexual encounters, according to people familiar with the matter. The wrestler and her attorney approached Mr. McMahon in 2018 and negotiated the payment in return for her silence, the people said.”

Wall Street Journal has published a new story, claiming Vince McMahon paid $12 million in hush money to at least four women over the last 16 years.https://t.co/ysud9fFU6f
