Linda McMahon’s Attorney Condemns Baseless WWE Lawsuit

The attorney for Linda McMahon has lashed out at the lawsuit filed against her, Vince McMahon, WWE, and TKO surrounding the sexual exploitation of children.

On October 23rd 2024, it was announced that a new lawsuit had been filed against Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, WWE, and TKO. The suit alleges that those named were complicit in the sexual exploitation of children by former ring announcer and ring crew chief Melvin Phillips Jr.

The suit claims that the boys were “groomed, exploited, and sexually abused” by Phillips.

It’s alleged that McMahon and others were “fully aware” of the abuses suffered by the “ring boys” who often did odd jobs for WWE in preparation for shows.

Linda McMahon’s Attorney Hits Out At Claims

Linda McMahon’s attorney has now broken her silence on the matter. Speaking to the Washington Post, Laura Brevetti called the claims “baseless” before adding:

This lawsuit based upon thirty-plus-year-old allegations is filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations.

These comments come as Linda McMahon has been picked by Donald Trump to serve an important role in his cabinet when he re-takes office as US President in January 2025. Brevetti also confirmed in her comments that Linda McMahon is officially separated from her husband Vince McMahon.

The ‘ring boys’ lawsuit comes after Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against McMahon, WWE, and John Laurinaitis, alleging sex trafficking and sexual abuse in January. Grant’s lawsuit is currently on hold after the United States government launched its own investigation into McMahon.
