Becky Lynch again comments on the allegations against Vince McMahon.
Becky Lynch, a Grand Slam Champion in WWE, rose to stardom in the company while Vince McMahon was still the chairman and CEO. They worked together until McMahon retired amid allegations of sexual misconduct in 2022. McMahon returned in January 2023 but resigned in January 2024 after Janel Grant filed a lawsuit against him and WWE in which she alleged that McMahon engaged in sexual assault and sex trafficking. McMahon has denied the allegations, but he is under federal investigation.
Speaking on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, Becky Lynch was asked to comment on the allegations.
"Those allegations are horrible and it's so hard to listen to because that's not my experience. He was so good to me. Vince had a genius about him and he was not the easiest to work with, but he also lived an extremely interesting life, in terms of what he built. So I liked learning from him. I liked talking to him and he's responsible for all of the things in my life by building WWE. For the most part, we've had some ups and downs, but he was always good to me as a person, and always treated me with respect and I felt like I earned a lot of respect from him. Then, you're hearing this other side, which is not the person that I know, and that's really hard. That's really hard, especially when you're a woman in this business, and you're a woman who has been trying to push things to be equal," Lynch said.
Lynch went on to talk about the women's evolution in WWE and later circled back to McMahon. She stated that it was hard to hear thee allegations because she did not experience them and she hated that anybody did.
"So, it's very hard to hear about these things, because I didn't experience them and I hate that anybody experienced them. I hate that anybody experienced that in general, but especially [by] somebody that has been very kind to me in my life and my career. It's like two different people. He's like a grandfather. I remember telling him that I was pregnant and how good he was to me and how happy he was for me and you think of that cleaness that you felt. Then, you have to hear about this other side and it's horrible. It's horrible to put those two people together," Lynch said.
