HBO Real Sports reportedly prepping a potential story on Vince McMahon allegations

HBO Real Sports is reportedly planning on doing a story about Vince McMahon and the allegations against him.

Vince is in the midst of controversy with new accusations rumored to be on the way. He stepped down from his position as WWE CEO, but remains in control over the creative direction of the promotion. His daughter, Stephanie McMahon, was named the interim CEO and Chairwoman of WWE last month. He's made a few appearances on WWE television since the allegations against him came out.

According to Mike Johnson of PW Insider, HBO is prepping a story about Vince and is reaching out to former female employees of WWE. Johnson also noted that another article from the Wall Street Journal about the 76-year-old is expected to drop over the next few weeks. Real Sports is available on the HBO Max streaming service and new episodes are also aired on the HBO channel.
