Last month, a law firm filed a lawsuit against WWE, Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, and TKO Group Holdings on behalf of five former WWE ring boys. The suit claimed that former WWE employee Melvin Phillips Jr. sexually abused underage boys. It was alleged that Vince and Linda knew about Phillips’ inappropriate behavior but took no action.
Jessica Rosenberg, an attorney for Vince McMahon, denied the allegation. In an interview with The Washington Post, Linda’s attorney Laura Brevetti stated the following regarding the lawsuit:
“This lawsuit based upon thirty-plus-year-old allegations is filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations.”
