NBC News featured a piece on Vince McMahon's life after his exile from WWE following the Janel Grant lawsuit being filed.
Citing that they spoke with 11 people who asked for anonymity, the report states that McMahon has not had any contact with WWE and has not spoken about WWE business with his son-in-law, Paul Levesque.
The article also stated that despite his legal issues, McMahon remains "unfazed" and has been traveling internationally to Italy and Turks & Caicos, among other locations.
Still, he seems to have moved on, according to multiple sources. McMahon has kept up his other routines, and it’s as if he’s unfazed by his legal fights, two sources said. The article noted:
"For instance, on an afternoon in late March, McMahon returned on a private plane to the United States from the sunny Turks and Caicos Islands -- but he wasn’t alone, according to a person close to him. He had with him seven kittens and a puppy, all of which he brought back to be adopted by his friends, this person added.
“If anything, he’s enjoying life,” said the person, who added that McMahon had also taken a trip to Italy."
A source close to McMahon stated that he believed there would be no federal charges brought against him and that the Janel Grant lawsuit would eventually be settled.
Grant's attorney, Ann Callis, told NBC there have been no settlement discussions.
“Vince McMahon raped, trafficked and physically assaulted Janel Grant as part of his decades-long normalization of treating women within the WWE as objects. He might have thought that Janel would just walk away, but that wishful thinking couldn’t be further from the case,” Callis told NBC in a statement issued today. “Every day we are focused on adding to our mountain of evidence, speaking with other victims, hiring renowned experts on sex trafficking/coercive control and preparing to vociferously litigate this case.”
McMahon's attorney, Jessica Rosenberg told NBC via an emailed statement - “The lawsuit’s claims are false, defamatory and entirely without merit. We intend to vigorously defend Mr. McMahon and are confident that he will be vindicated.”
Nicholas Biase, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York declined to comment on the matter to NBC.
