Former WWE star Paul Roma details alleged sexual misconduct

(NewsNation) — Former World Wrestling Entertainment star Paul Roma alleges sexual misconduct was happening within the organization “on a regular basis.”

Roma is best known for his wrestling appearances within WWE from 1984 to the early 1990s.

WWE executives “put you in really, really bad situations, especially once you started making some money,” Roma said during a Monday appearance on “Banfield.” “You find out that your job’s on the line. Either do it or get fired, and I witnessed quite a few that walked away. Money wasn’t worth it to go that route.”

Roma said he doesn’t know which WWE executives were involved, but he alleged that his former partner was asked to engage in “sexual favors.”

Federal authorities are currently investigating sexual assault and sexual trafficking allegations against McMahon.

According to a federal lawsuit, Janel Grant, who worked at the company’s headquarters, alleged that McMahon sexually exploited her and attempted to traffic her to other WWE employees.

Earlier this month, McMahon resigned as executive chairman of WWE parent TKO Group after the former employee filed a 67-page federal lawsuit.

Grant’s attorney says his stepping down isn’t enough.

“It’s been a long process, and she (Grant) wants to speak out for any other victims and eradicate this culture of corruption that has permeated every cell of the WWE,” Grant’s attorney, Ann Callis, told NewsNation’s Markie Martin on “Morning in America.”

Callis said that since Grant is going up against a multibillion-dollar company and very powerful men, they wanted to lay out all the “facts” to even the playing field. In the filing, Grant cited more than 300 allegations of sexual abuse.
