This is true a lawsuit from the behalf of 5 ring boys is being brought against Vince McMahon, Linda McMahon, and TKO Holdings (The parent company of The WWE). This is being brought up in the Baltimore County Circuit Court. They allege that Vince McMahon and the company knowingly let Melvin Phillips, Jr. sexually exploit children as young as 12 and 13 years old (CNN article). That the company not only knew but allowed this to happen. This is another lawsuit against McMahon as in January 2024, McMahon stepped down from TKO after Janel Grant filled against him for sexual abuse and exploitation as well as human trafficking.
