Following the lawsuit against McMahon, both the TKO Group and McMahon issued a response. First up, the TKO Group issued the following statement through a spokesperson:
“Mr. McMahon does not control TKO nor does he oversee the day-to-day operations of WWE. While this matter pre-dates our TKO executive team’s tenure at the company, we take Ms. Grant’s horrific allegations very seriously and are addressing this matter internally.”
McMahon, also through a spokesperson, issued the following statement of his own:
“This lawsuit is replete with lies, obscene made-up instances that never occurred, and a vindictive distortion of the truth. He will vigorously defend himself.”
There is no word on any kind of official punishment for McMahon so far and it is not clear when the TKO Group will make an announcement of how they are dealing with the entire situation.
