A new lawsuit alleges Vince McMahon knowingly enabled the sexual exploitation of children by a WWE employee in the 1980s.
The suit, filed on behalf of five former WWE “Ring Boys,” alleges McMahon, his wife Linda McMahon, the WWE, and TKO Group Holdings, the league’s parent company, knowingly allowed former ringside announcer Melvin Phillips, Jr. to use his position to sexually exploit children as young as 12 and 13 years old.
The lawsuit alleges McMahon was aware of Phillips’ abuse of the children. In fact, the lawsuit alleges McMahon admitted that he was aware as early as the 1980s that Phillips had a “peculiar and unnatural interest” in young boys. “After decades of suffering in silence from their childhood trauma, these survivors come forward now to hold accountable for their conduct in allowing the systemic and pervasive abuse by Philips,” the lawsuit alleges.Linda McMahon stepped down as CEO of WWE in 2009. She worked in former President Donald Trump’s cabinet as the 25th administrator of the Small Business Administration before stepping down in 2019.
