<p>Just a few weeks ago, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/vince-mcmahon-to-leave-wwe-amid-misconduct-allegations-news.153689.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Vince McMahon decided to step down from his role as CEO</a> of the WWE following a report that came out stating that he had <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/vince-mcmahon-reportedly-paid-former-wwe-employee-s3m-after-affair-news.153646.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">paid $3 million to a former WWE employee</a> that he had an affair with. The WWE Board of Governors was looking into these allegations, and according to the <em>Wall Street Journal</em>, it was revealed that in this particular instance, the relationship was consensual.</p>
<p>Despite this, it seems as though McMahon has made a plethora of other payments in the past that were expressly for the purposes of suppressing sexual misconduct claims. For instance, one former wrestler received $7.5 million in 2018 after McMahon allegedly &#8220;coerced her into giving him oral sex and then demoted her and, ultimately, declined to renew her contract in 2005 after she resisted further sexual encounters.&#8221;</p>

<p>McMahon is said to have paid $1 million to other former WWE employees, including a contractor who says McMahon sent her unsolicited nude photos, and even allegedly harassed her on the job a few times. </p>
<p>Now that Vince has stepped down, the WWE is currently being run by McMahon&#8217;s daughter Stephanie. As for the investigation into the former CEO, it has been said that McMahon is being cooperative and he will accept the results, whatever they may be.</p>
