WWE star Randy Orton admits he's 'torn' over sex-trafficking allegations against Vince McMahon: 'I've seen the horrible things online that I don't want to believe because this man has done so many things for me'

WWE star Randy Orton is admittedly ‘torn’ over sexual misconduct allegations against ex-chairman Vince McMahon.

Speaking with the New York Post, the 43-year-old said he has ‘no idea really what to think’ about former WWE staffer Janel Grant’s federal lawsuit, which claims that McMahon trafficked her to other executives and once defected on her head during a threesome. Grant also says she was once locked in a WWE office where McMahon and another executive took turns sexually assaulting her, and claims she suffered physical harm from sexual encounters with the 78-year-old wrestling promoter.

‘I’ve seen the horrible things online that I don’t want to believe because this man has done so many things for me,’ Orton told The Post. ‘If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have been given second and third chances [in WWE]. I wouldn’t be in the position that I’m in now if it wasn’t for that man.

‘So part of me wants to not believe it and then the other part of me understands that he could have done all these wonderful things for me and the business and created this amazing thing that will go on and on well after he’s gone, but on the other hand he’s human and he made some f***ing terrible mistakes.’

McMahon has been investigated over various sexual misconduct allegations since 2022, according to recent reporting by the Wall Street Journal. However, since stepping down from the company in the wake of the filing, McMahon has maintained his innocence. Furthermore, he has not been charged with any crime in the matter.

Orton hesitated to address any specific allegations against McMahon ahead of Saturday’s Elimination Chamber match on Saturday in Perth, Australia.

He did agree with WWE star Cody Rhodes that the lawsuit has brought a ‘little bit of a dark cloud over everything’ within the company.

‘There’s three sides to every story,’ Orton said. ‘Their side, the other side and then the truth. I think a lot more has to come out before I can really speak on any of this. I think that would be the case for any talent that you ask, but I do know about Vince McMahon the man that I’ve known for the past 24 years personally and I owe him for everything he’s done for me.

‘I say that with conviction because I won’t be in this position without a lot of help from him. But if these allegations are true, then it’s some horrible s–t right there. I’m torn. It’s hard.’

Orton is a 24-year WWE veteran, who was once referred to by McMahon as the ‘face of the company.’
