A new report from the Wall Street Journal has indicated that Vince McMahon has paid over $12 million in “hush money” over the past 16 years to “suppress allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity”, including a $7.5 million payment to a former WWE wrestler. Click here to see the full report.
Former WWE star Mickie James took to Twitter to react to the new allegations against McMahon, simply posting a gif of herself alongside the caption:
No wonder I never got that raise…
Mickie’s reaction has been met with a lot of backlash, from people who think she’s ‘making light’ of the situation, while others think it’s hypocritical of her to comment on, given she returned for this year’s Royal Rumble.
You literally went back there a few months ago have some shame

Multiple colleagues of yours were allegedly abused. One SAed and covered up who's no longer here with us. Probably not the best time for a bad Twitter joke. https://t.co/qi3nvtLTge
