In January 2024, Vince McMahon stepped down from WWE following Janel Grant’s lawsuit against himself, the company, and John Laurinaitis. This controversy is just the latest for McMahon who’s legacy has come under immense scrutiny in recent years.
On The Pat McAfee Show, Stephanie McMahon was asked for how she handles attacks on her father and family as a whole. McMahon recalled the federal government’s case against her father in the early 1990s, in which Vince was alleged to have pushed steroids on talent.
“The media came after my family in a really big and really hard way to deal with when we were in high school… At the time, I was filled with a lot of anger and resentment, and I had a hard time navigating all of that.“
Today, Stephanie isn’t as concerned about what is said about her family in the public. Instead, the 48 year old recognises that many who talk about her family and father choose to do so without all the facts.
“It’s just noise. We all have opinions no matter what, and that’s great. You can think you know exactly what’s going on.”
Stephanie did not mention the Janel Grant lawsuit directly, but knows her place in this situation, stating that “I know where I stand, and that’s how I have to just be grounded.”
Vince McMahon Community Noted On X After ‘Case Closed’ Comments
Vince McMahon has denied the allegations that he was sexually abusive to Grant, and WWE has avoided referencing him on TV. While Vince McMahon’s days with WWE are seemingly over for good, Stephanie won’t let the ‘noise’ from others drown out her support for her family.
