Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving John Laurinaitis & Vince McMahon.
• John Laurinaitis is a co-defendant in the Vince McMahon lawsuit. His lawyer issued the following statement to VICE News today:
“Mr. Laurinaitis denies the allegations in the misguided complaint and will be vigorously defending these charges in Court, not the media.
Like the Plaintiff, Mr. Laurinaitis is a victim in this case, not a predator. The truth will come out.”
In a follow up question, the lawyer was asked if he is indeed saying that McMahon was the predator and Laurinaitis & Grant were victims.
The lawyer replied:
“Read the allegations. Read the Federal Statute. Power, control, employment supervisory capacity, dictatorial $exual demands with repercussions if not met. Count how many times in the complaint Vince exerts control over both of them.”
