WWE co-founder Vince McMahon has been accused of raping and trafficking a former employee in a disturbing lawsuit filed on Thursday.

In graphic court documents filed to the U.S. District Court in Connecticut, plaintiff Janel Grant describes psychological torture and physical violence she was subjected to by McMahon, who first pressured her into a sexual relationship with the promise of professional opportunities after meeting her in March 2019.

The suit claims McMahon would later direct Grant to have sex with WWE wrestlers and other men and that he would intimidate her with threats of revenge porn and make depraved sexual demands in exchange for her continued employment.

Grant, who worked for WWE from June 2019 through March 2022, says that she was fired after McMahons wife, Linda McMahon, discovered the relationship and that she was subsequently pressured to sign a nondisclosure agreement in exchange for $3 million.
