In 1999, Sable filed a $110 million lawsuit against the WWE, citing allegations of sexual harassment and unsafe working conditions.
Sable was often used in bikini contests or "eye candy" segments and matches during her time in WWE.
Sable and WWE settled out of court in August 1999.
"I don't remember much about Sable in terms of the lawsuit," Vince McMahon said in "Mr. McMahon."
Asked if he remembered the allegations, Vince replied, "No, I don't. It's kind of a blur. All I know is she came back to work, so...."
Sable returned to the company in 2003, and had an on-screen affair with Vince.
When his character's on-screen affair was mentioned to Vince on "Mr. McMahon," replied, "With who?" Clarifying that the on-screen affair was with Sable, McMahon said, "Me? [Laughs]. God."
In 2001, McMahon admitted in an interview with Playboy that he had multiple affairs. Asked if the storylines that came up incorporated elements from his life, Vince said they were "totally unrelated."
