New York CNN —Paul “Triple H” Levesque, the chief content officer at World Wrestling Entertainment, made his first public comments after Vince McMahon resigned Friday from the board of WWE’s parent company, TKO Group Holdings, in the wake of a former employee’s lawsuit accusing McMahon of sex trafficking, sexual assault and physical abuse.
The horrifying allegations against McMahon were brought forward by Janel Grant, who worked at WWE’s headquarters.
Grant alleged McMahon promised a job — and later promotions — at WWE in exchange for sex.
Grant’s lawsuit also includes allegations McMahon trafficked her to other men inside and outside the company, including John Laurinaitis, a former wrestler who worked in the company’s talent relations department.
The deal valued the newly combined company at over $21 billion, with WWE shareholders owning 49% of the combined company.
