Vince McMahon, the founder of WWE, has resigned amid allegations of sex trafficking, which are now being investigated by federal prosecutors. The claims against McMahon have also implicated his former wrestlers, Nikki and Brie Garcia, who have spoken out about the situation. According to reports, federal authorities have been investigating sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations against McMahon since 2022, with prosecutors in New York contacting women who have accused him. A federal subpoena in 2023 sought documents related to 'rape, sex trafficking, sexual assault.' The investigation also includes claims that McMahon pressured an ex-WWE employee into sex with executives and subjected her to degrading acts. The Bella twins, who are also stepdaughters to John Laurinaitis, a fired WWE executive facing similar allegations, have stated that 'It's been a lot to process this week' and expressed a desire for all women to feel safe and supported.
