Trump supporter and spouse of Trump’s Small Business Administration director, Vince McMahon paid four women more than $12 million in total to secure their silence relating to his sexual harassment and abuse, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The CEO of professional wrestling producer WWE, Vince McMahon reportedly used WWE funds to pay off the women and secure their silence through non-disclosure agreements. McMahon stepped down from the daily operations of WWE, which produces homoerotic staged and scripted interactive gymnastics, typically with men wearing Speedos, for an audience that’s overwhelming white conservative “Christian” males, many of whom will swear the stages exhibitions are real competitions.
According to the Journal, McMahon paid women to hide the fact that he was having multiple extramarital affairs, cheating on his wife. The payments from the coffers of WWE, which is a publicly traded company, may spark an investigation by the SEC for improperly reporting the settlements to stockholders and federal regulators.
