Yet another law firm is investigating WWE.
At least eight law firms are now investigating WWE over Vince McMahon’s alleged $3 million hush payment to a former WWE employee he allegedly had an affair with.
Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC issued the following press release on Friday to announce that they are now looking into the allegations:
WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT INVESTIGATION INITIATED by Former Louisiana Attorney General: Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC Investigates the Officers and Directors of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. – WWE
Former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (“WWE”) (NYSE: WWE).
On June 17, 2022, the Company disclosed that Chairman and CEO Vincent McMahon was stepping back from his responsibilities as CEO and Chairman of the Board pending an investigation into allegations reported by media sources that he paid $3 million to a departing employee with whom he allegedly had an affair, and that since the investigation began in April, the board had uncovered multiple, older nondisclosure agreements with former WWE employees that involved claims against McMahon and John Laurinaitis, head of talent relations.
KSF’s investigation is focusing on whether WWE’s officers and/or directors breached their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders or otherwise violated state or federal laws.
