WWE COO Brad Blum resigns in wake of Vince McMahon sex trafficking lawsuit: report
NY Post
A top WWE executive reportedly quit after being identified in a bombshell sex trafficking lawsuit filed by a former employee against wrestling mogul Vince McMahon.
WWE Chief Operating Officer Brad Blum, who is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit that alleged McMahon defecated on the subordinate’s head, resigned Wednesday, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Janel Grant, the onetime WWE employee, filed suit in January alleging she was sexually assaulted by McMahon and another executive, John Laurinaitis.
The complaint also made reference to “Corporate Officer No. 2” — who was identified as Blum, according to Front Office Sports.
The lawsuit alleges that Corporate Officer No. 1 — previously identified by The Post as WWE President Nick Khan — and Corporate Officer No. 2 arranged for Grant to be employed “in a completely undefined role, except for the understanding that she remain a sexual slave to be used and trafficked by McMahon within the WWE.”
The lawsuit does not make any claims that Blum knew about the alleged sexual abuses.
