WSJ: WWE’s Vince McMahon Paid $12M in Hush Money To Cover Up Sex Scandals_我的网站

玉观音

一 |     Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the face most associated with American professional wrestling and who was until recently the CEO and Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), agreed to pay more than $12 million over 16 years to four different women who worked for or were contracted by WWE in an attempt to quiet allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity.,That number includes the $3 million McMahon is said to have paid a former paralegal in late 2021 following a sexual relationship between the two. That incident led the WWE Board of Directors to investigate McMahon, who then stepped aside from his position as CEO and Chairman of the Board while his daughter, Stephanie McMahon, took over as interim CEO. That investigation was first reported on by the Wall Street Journal on June 17.,These new allegations, also revealed by the Wall Street Journal, include a former wrestler who alleged that Vince McMahon coerced her into giving him oral sex. After she refused further advances, she alleged that she was put in a less prominent position on the show and WWE then declined to renew her contract when it came up in 2005. In 2018, the wrestler and her lawyer approached McMahon and reached a $7.5 million settlement in exchange for her silence.,In the mid-2000s, McMahon was, as he is now, the head of creative in WWE and had the final say on how much TV and in-ring time wrestlers would receive. He would have also decided when she won or lost matches, essentially being in control of her career trajectory.,In another case, a WWE contractor had nude photos of McMahon that she alleged were sent unsolicited to her by the billionaire wrestling promoter. She also alleged, per people familiar with the situation, that he sexually harassed her on the job. According to the Journal, McMahon paid her $1 million to sign a non-disclosure agreement.,There is also a 2006 non-disclosure agreement with a $1 million payout to a former manager. She worked at the company for over a decade before McMahon initiated a sexual relationship, according to people familiar with the deal who spoke to the Journal.,It was previously reported that the WWE Board of Directors was investigating the case with the paralegal. Now, the Journal reports the case with the former wrestler is also being investigated by the board, along with allegations that former head of talent relations John Laurinaitis had a sexual relationship with the same paralegal McMahon did. It is not known if the other NDAs are being investigated.,The board is also reportedly investigating a 2012 $1.5 million nondisclosure agreement with Laurinaitis and an employee with whom he allegedly had a sexual relationship. The employee alleged she was demoted after ending the relationship.,Laurinaitis was the WWE head of talent relations until he was forced to step down in 2012, around the same time the 2012 NDA was made with the former employee. Laurinaitis was reinstated to that role in 2021 but was placed on administrative leave after the paralegal investigation came to light.,The initial report cited an anonymous email sent to the WWE board of directors that revealed the NDA between McMahon and the paralegal. It also alleged that McMahon asked the board to give her a raise after they began a sexual relationship. Later, she was transferred from the legal department to a role in talent relations under Laurinaitis, who she also allegedly had a sexual relationship with. The email claimed that McMahon gave the paralegal to Laurinaitis “like a toy.”,In a press release after the investigation first became public knowledge, McMahon said that he would “do everything possible to support” the investigation and stressed that no money from WWE went to pay for the NDA.,While the allegations are undoubtedly a bombshell, it may be difficult for the board of directors to remove McMahon if he does not step down voluntarily. Vince McMahon owns the vast majority of Class A shares, with the remaining Class A shares belonging to his family members or trusts in his family members’ names. Class A shares have ten times the voting power of the Class B shares given to investors not related to the McMahon family, so the vast majority of the voting power rests with McMahon himself.,The billionaire wrestling promoter has remained defiant in the face of the allegations. While he stepped down from his CEO and Chairman of the Board roles “temporarily,” he has remained in control of WWE’s creative direction. Additionally, just hours after the first Wall Street Journal report came out, WWE announced that McMahon would be appearing on that night’s Smackdown on Fox. He did not address the investigation and instead welcomed the crowd to the show. Critics and even some of WWE’s talent called it a brazen attempt to boost ratings off of the news of the scandal. Smackdown’s ratings for that episode jumped 19.6% from the week before.,Fightful Select has reported that talent backstage at that show heard McMahon say “F*** ‘em” after his appearance, apparently in defiance of the allegations.,This is not the first time McMahon has faced sexual misconduct allegations. In 2006, a tanning salon employee told police that McMahon groped her, showed her nude images of himself, and tried to kiss her unsolicited. Police declined to press charges at the time, citing a lack of independent evidence.,While WWE has not yet publicly responded to the latest Wall Street Journal report, PWInsider has obtained a copy of an internal memo sent to employees of WWE.,“The Wall Street Journal has published a second story with expanded details on its initial WWE report last month. We want to reiterate that we and our Board of Directors take these allegations seriously.,We’ve been cooperating fully with the investigation led by our Board of Directors and will continue to do so until its conclusion. Please note that upon its conclusion, WWE leadership will make itself available to answer any questions you may have.,Thank you.”。    AI摘要      台风“简拉维”在泉州登陆后减弱,今日白天有暴雨到大暴雨,明后天雨势渐弱转多云。虽降雨趋缓,仍需警惕持续降水引发的次生灾害,注意防范出行交通安全风险,确保人身安全。

二 |          第20号台风“简拉维”昨日中午在泉州台商投资区张坂镇沿海登陆后,继续向西北方向移动,强度逐渐减弱。泉州市气象台预计,受减弱的低压环流影响,今日白天我市有暴雨到大暴雨,今日夜间到明日白天转为中到大雨,明日夜间到后天白天则由阵雨转多云。虽然雨势逐步减弱,但仍需注意防范出行交通安全风险以及持续降水引发的次生灾害。

三 |          24日中午,持续降雨让市区丰海路部分路段积水,车辆经过溅起“水墙”。(陈晓东 摄)          大树折断压到小车(网友供图)          昨日下午,泉州承天寺内出现积水。

四 | ( 王柏峰 摄)     持续降雨     部分路段积水     昨日,中心市区从早到晚几乎未停歇地笼罩在连绵雨幕之中。记者走访多处路段,见到许多行人在雨中艰难前行的身影,部分低洼路段更出现短暂积水。    在丰泽区刺桐路和丰海路,雨点密集敲打地面,溅起细碎水花。行人紧握伞柄,顶着雨前行;骑车人披着雨衣压低身子,双脚不时点地保持平衡。尽管雨具遮身,但持续的急雨仍将多数人的鞋面与裤脚浸得湿透。    在丰海路和中环城一些路段,路面凹处积起深浅不一的水洼,积水沿着斜坡哗哗奔涌,汇入排水口时卷起小小漩涡。偶有车辆疾驰碾过,瞬间激起一道水幕,白花花的水珠溅向两旁。    此外,昨日还有群众发视频反映,晋江英林民生路、永和邵厝邵氏家庙、石狮振兴路、南安石井延平大道掉头路口和支五路路口、成功收费站进出口等处均因降雨出现不同程度积水。

五 |     昨日14时30分许,晋江社马路往石狮方向英墩路口处,一棵大树拦腰折断,粗大枝干砸中一辆行驶中的轿车,车内有人员被困。晋江永和消防救援专职队接警赶到现场,确认车内有3人被困,所幸均未受伤。消防员一边安抚被困人员,一边用油锯清理树枝、破除障碍,10分钟后成功打开车门。3人仅受惊吓,安然无恙。    据市气象台统计,受热带辐合带和台风“简拉维”共同影响,20日起我市出现分散性大雨到暴雨,部分乡镇有大暴雨。统计20日8时—24日15时累计雨量,全市共有149个乡镇≥50毫米,其中84个乡镇≥100毫米,以丰泽泉秀街道234.3毫米为最大;最大小时雨量为南安石井镇80.1毫米。    泉金航线停航     在建水工项目停工     记者从泉州海事局了解到,该局于24日17时将海上防台风应急响应从Ⅲ级调整为Ⅳ级,继续筑牢海上防台风防线。同时,围绕防台风关键环节逐项落实精准管控措施,及时向客运企业和船舶发布预警信息,督促其根据气象条件调整航班,目前泉金航线、肖厝—惠屿渡运航线已停航;辖区18个在建水工项目全部停止作业,有序撤离作业人员,引导施工船舶安全转移至避风水域;对小型船舶实施禁止离港措施,并按照“一船一策”原则督促落实防台方案。此外,通过VTS、VHF等手段加强锚地、航道及码头船舶监控,提醒在航船舶选择安全水域避风,维护锚泊秩序,防范锚地饱和风险;对渡口码头、通航环境和助航标志进行全面排查,及时消除安全隐患。(融媒体记者 杨泳红 许雅玲 通讯员 黎盼)     相关提醒     暴雨天出行注意事项     远离危险区域     下凹式立交桥或涵洞:短时强降雨易造成低洼区深积水,车辆和行人误入可能发生淹溺。若车辆熄火或水位达轮胎一半,应果断弃车逃生。    河道/滩涂/溪谷/泄洪区:汛期严禁在临水地带露营、垂钓、戏水或长时间驻留。一旦发现水势异动、水声轰鸣,应立刻向两侧高处撤离,切勿贪恋财物。    临水/临崖路段:雨天路面湿滑,持续降雨易引发滑坡、崩塌、泥石流,行车途经应注意减速控距,观察山体状况,切勿强行通过危险路段。    积水路面/井盖旁:存在触电、坠井风险。避开变压器、电线杆等区域,警惕井盖、下水道和排污井。若发现路面有漩涡,务必绕行。    危旧住房/低洼宅院:警惕墙体裂缝、土块掉落、树木或电线杆无故倾斜等情况。

六 | 勿在危旧住房、厂房、临时建筑室内或周围停留。

七 | 低洼区居民应根据预警情况随时做好转移准备。

八 |     地下车库/地下室:警惕雨水倒灌。可提前转移车辆和贵重物品,发现进水后快速撤离,切勿乘坐电梯。    驾车出行指南     降车速:降低车速,尽量避免急踩刹车,以防侧滑失控。    转弯慢:转弯速度要慢,打方向盘轻柔,过弯后再恢复正常车速。    不超车:减少来回并线和超车,尽量跟车行驶。

九 |     拉大车距:适当拉大与前车距离,避免并排行驶。    正确使用灯光:开启示廓灯和近光灯,让其他交通参与者注意到自身车辆。

十 |     小心积水路段:观察水深,参照前车通行情况(大型车不宜作为参考),通过时要慢速,防止水花倒灌发动机。    步行注意事项     避开漩涡:绕行井盖、下水道等区域。    重心后置:双臂前伸,重心后移,用脚尖扫动探路。    结伴同行:一人探路,另一人抓住其裤腰,虚步前进。    远离电力设备:避开广告牌、变压器、电线杆等,若涉水时脚下发麻,应立即止步并退回。(杨泳红 辑)。
