Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon left the spectacle of televised wrestling more than a decade ago, but her new appointment to Donald Trumps administration has brought fresh scrutiny to her time presiding over the testosterone-charged industry.
McMahon on Tuesday was tapped to lead the Department of Education as she and her husband, the embattled Vince McMahon, are embroiled in a sex scandal, something of a developing trend in the second Trump administration.
Last month, a group of five former ring boys named the McMahons in a sex abuse lawsuit along with World Wrestling Entertainment and its parent company, TKO Group. The John Does alleged that from the 1970s to the 1990s, former WWE announcer Melvin Phillips Jr. groomed and sexually assaulted them and other minors, without any consequences from his employer.
Whats more, they claimed the McMahonsin their capacity as chief WWE executivesspecifically knew about and ignored Philipss predation. His peculiar and unnatural interest in young boys prompted the couple to fire Phillips in 1988, the lawsuit says; they quickly reinstated him on the condition he steer clear from kids, which he didnt.
Lindas lawyer, Laura Brevetti, called the lawsuits complaints baseless and said the McMahons were separated.

They go nuts about woke, trans etc as the 'decay of society' - but seem to have no concern about actual predators (and enablers thereof) in their midst.
