WWE老板文斯·麥克馬洪在性虐待和販運(yùn)指控后辭職
Vince McMahon has resigned as executive chairman of WWE/UFC's parent company, TKO Group Holdings, effective immediately.
文斯·麥克馬洪已經(jīng)辭去WWE/UFC母公司TKO集團(tuán)控股公司執(zhí)行主席一職，立即生效。
His resignation comes a day after former WWE employee Janel Grant sued McMahon, the WWE, and former senior vice president of talent relations John Laurinaitis, claiming that she experienced "physical and emotional abuse, sexual assault and trafficking" while working at the company.
在他辭職的前一天，前WWE員工Janel Grant起訴了WWE的麥克馬洪和前人才關(guān)系高級(jí)副總裁John Laurinaitis，聲稱她在公司工作期間經(jīng)歷了“身體和精神虐待、性侵犯和販賣”。
"I stand by my prior statement that Ms. Grant's lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and is a vindictive distortion of the truth. I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless accusations and look forward to clearing my name," McMahon shared in statement shared with PEOPLE.
“我堅(jiān)持我之前的聲明，格蘭特女士的訴訟充滿了謊言，捏造了從未發(fā)生過的淫穢事件，是對(duì)真相的報(bào)復(fù)性歪曲。我打算針對(duì)這些毫無根據(jù)的指控為自己辯護(hù)，并期待為自己正名，”麥克馬洪在接受《人物》雜志采訪時(shí)表示。
"However, out of respect for the WWE Universe, the extraordinary TKO business and its board members and shareholders, partners, and constituents, and all of the employees and Superstars who helped make WWE into the global leader it is today, I have decided to resign from my executive chairmanship and the TKO board of directors, effective immediately," the statement continued.
“然而，出于對(duì)WWE宇宙，非凡的TKO業(yè)務(wù)及其董事會(huì)成員和股東，合作伙伴和選民，以及所有幫助WWE成為今天全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者的員工和超級(jí)明星的尊重，我決定辭去執(zhí)行主席和TKO董事會(huì)的職務(wù)，立即生效，”聲明繼續(xù)說道。
McMahon had previously stepped down as chairman and CEO of the WWE in June 2022 and announced his retirement a month after, amid an investigation into allegations he paid a former employee $3 million to hide their affair.
麥克馬洪曾于2022年6月辭去WWE主席兼首席執(zhí)行官一職，并在一個(gè)月后宣布退休，原因是他被指控向一名前雇員支付300萬美元以掩蓋他們的婚外情。
The investigation closed in November 2022, and McMahon was "unanimously" elected executive chairman of the board in January 2023," per a press release. When the WWE and UFC merged in September to create TKO Group Holdings, McMahon was appointed executive chairman.
調(diào)查于2022年11月結(jié)束，麥克馬洪于2023年1月“一致”當(dāng)選為董事會(huì)執(zhí)行主席。當(dāng)WWE和UFC于9月合并為TKO集團(tuán)控股公司時(shí)，麥克馬洪被任命為執(zhí)行主席。
"During several meetings that were ostensibly about a potential job at WWE, he greeted her in his underwear, touched her, repeatedly asking for hugs, and spent hours sharing intimate details about his personal life," Grant alleges to have experienced during her first meetings with McMahon in a complaint obtained by PEOPLE.
“在幾次表面上是關(guān)于WWE潛在工作的會(huì)面中，他穿著內(nèi)衣和她打招呼，撫摸她，反復(fù)要求擁抱，并花了幾個(gè)小時(shí)分享他個(gè)人生活的私密細(xì)節(jié)，”格蘭特在《人物》雜志獲得的一份投訴中聲稱，她在與麥克馬洪的第一次會(huì)面中經(jīng)歷了這些。
Grant alleges that McMahon "pushed" her "for a physical relationship in return for long-promised employment at WWE." She alleges to have been hired as an entry-level employee for the WWE's legal department in June 2019 after "succumbing to the pressure for a physical relationship."
格蘭特聲稱，麥克馬洪“強(qiáng)迫”她“與她發(fā)生肉體關(guān)系，以換取長(zhǎng)期承諾的WWE工作”。她聲稱，在“屈服于身體關(guān)系的壓力”后，于2019年6月被WWE法律部門聘為入門級(jí)員工。
The complaint alleges that McMahon began "sharing sexually explicit photographs and videos" of Grant in March 2020 with "other men both inside and outside the company" and that "coercion was inherent in his increasingly depraved sexual demands."
起訴書稱，麥克馬洪于2020年3月開始與“公司內(nèi)外的其他男性”“分享格蘭特的色情照片和視頻”，“他日益墮落的性要求中固有的脅迫”。
"McMahon recruited individuals to have sexual relations with Ms. Grant and/or with the two of them, directed Ms. Grant to visit Defendant Laurinaitis prior to the start of workdays for sexual encounters, and expected and directed Ms. Grant to engage in sexual activity at the WWE headquarters, even during working hours," the complaint reads.
“麥克馬洪招募個(gè)人與格蘭特女士和/或與他們兩人發(fā)生性關(guān)系，指示格蘭特女士在工作日開始之前拜訪被告Laurinaitis進(jìn)行性接觸，并期望并指示格蘭特女士在WWE總部進(jìn)行性活動(dòng)，甚至在工作時(shí)間，”訴狀寫道。
It details the alleged physical interactions, which she described as "acts of extreme cruelty and degradation." After McMahon's wife Linda found out about their relationship in January 2022, Grant was fired and signed an NDA "in exchange for payments," which the complaint states McMahon later "stopped making." He allegedly tried to "traffic" her to a WWE star even after she had left the company in March 2022.
她詳細(xì)描述了所謂的身體互動(dòng)，稱其為“極端殘忍和墮落的行為”。在麥克馬洪的妻子琳達(dá)于2022年1月發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的關(guān)系后，格蘭特被解雇了，并簽署了一份保密協(xié)議，“以換取報(bào)酬”，訴狀稱麥克馬洪后來“停止了支付”。據(jù)稱，在她于2022年3月離開WWE之后，他還試圖把她“介紹”給一位WWE明星。
