-- In response to the latest lawsuit filed against Vince McMahon (as well as against Linda McMahon, WWE and TKO) by the survivors of the "ring boy" scandal from the 1970s to the early 1990s, Vince's lawyer Jessica Rosenberg released the following statement denouncing the lawsuit and the allegations:
“More than 30 years ago, the columnist Phil Mushnick tried to make headlines with these same false claims. Those allegations were never proven and ultimately became the subject of a defamation lawsuit against Mr. Mushnick. The negligence claims against Mr. McMahon that were asserted today rely on these same absurd, defamatory and utterly meritless statements by Mr. Mushnick. We will vigorously defend Mr. McMahon and are confident the court will find that these claims are untrue and unfounded.”
