Linda McMahon and Vince McMahon are separated.
CNN reported on November 19 that President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former WWE CEO Linda McMahon as U.S. Secretary of Education. Beth Reinhard and Abha Bhattarai of The Washington Post then shared a detailed report about the nomination. The article included comments from Linda’s attorney, Laura Brevetti, who said that Linda and Vince McMahon are currently separated.
Additionally, Brevetti commented on the "Ring Boys" lawsuit against Linda McMahon, Vince McMahon, WWE, and TKO, which claims that five individuals were hired by Melvin Phillips Jr., and "The underaged Ring Boys were groomed, exploited, and sexually abused by Phillips, who targeted children from broken homes. His sexual assaults occurred not only at the wrestling venues, but also in hotel rooms and other locations where Phillips would shuttle the boys in plain sight. Defendants were fully aware of the systemic and pervasive abuse and did nothing to prevent or stop it," per DiCello Levitt and counsel.
"This lawsuit based upon thirty-plus-year-old allegations is filled with scurrilous lies, exaggerations, and misrepresentations," Brevetti said.
Vince McMahon remains under investigation for the sexual assault and trafficking lawsuit that former WWE employee Janel Grant filed in January.
Linda and Vince were married in 1966, when she was 17 and he was 21. They have two children together, Stephanie McMahon and Shane McMahon.
Janel Grant's attorney has said that more alleged victims have come forward. More information is available here.
