"I know 11 people that he slept with" - Major star makes controversial claim about Vince McMahon
A major star has made a controversial claim about former WWE CEO Vince McMahon. The 78-year-old stepped away from the company after accusations of sex trafficking were revealed by former employee Janel Grant.
UFC legend Chael Sonnen recently appeared on the FLAGRANT podcast and made some wild claims about Mr. McMahon. Sonnen stated that he knows of 11 people Vince McMahon slept with and eight of them were women.
"I never met Vince McMahon, and I know 11 people that he slept with — eight of them women, all consenting adults, so which is the implication to [the others being men]," he said.
Sonnen added that McMahon would hold the talent's careers over them and suggested Shawn Michaels may have been involved.
"He would hold their careers over him, just like he would the women. It was the same thing. You get paid more, you get pushed more. This is not a secret in the industry. Like, I'm not talking trash. This was very well known. But, I mean, Shawn Michaels, like guys that you would know there was ... (when asked if McMahon and Michaels slept together, he replied) or whatever it is that they [were doing]," said Sonnen.
