Linda and Vince McMahon face a separate civil suit filed in October by five anonymous plaintiffs who worked decades ago as “ring boys,” teenagers who helped set up WWE events. The plaintiffs claim the McMahons were aware they were being sexually abused by other high-ranking WWE employees and did not do enough to protect them.
The McMahons are currently separated, according to Linda’s attorney, Laura Brevetti, who called the ring boys lawsuit “baseless.” Vince McMahon resigned from WWE one day after Grant’s lawsuit was filed in January, and he has described the complaint as “salacious, false and defamatory” in court documents. He
issued a statement in January that the federal probe wouldn’t uncover any wrongdoing; representatives for him declined to provide further comment this week.
