A WWE star recently shared a surprising take on the Vince McMahon scandal. The former WWE CEO has been accused of sex trafficking by former employee Janel Grant.
Speaking with US Weekly, WWE Global Ambassador Titus O'Neil shared an interesting take on the allegations against Mr. McMahon. O'Neil stated that he had nothing bad to say about the 79-year-old and would forever be grateful for what Vince McMahon built during his time with the company. O'Neil began working for WWE in 2009.
"At the end of the day, what he built cannot be erased. It’s sad that the situation came to what it came to, but I don’t have any bad words for Vince. It’s very interesting to hear different perspectives on things, but at the end of the day, I’ll forever be grateful for what Vince McMahon built, the platform that he built for so many people. He’s human, just like anyone else," he said.
O'Neil noted that he does not condone some of the things he has read about McMahon but pointed out that his life was forever changed because he got an opportunity to work for the company.

"Do I condone some of the things that I’ve read? No, but I don’t know all the insides and outs of what’s going on and what’s not going on. All I know is that my life was changed because I had an opportunity to become a WWE Superstar," he added.
A six-part docuseries about Vince McMahon was released on Netflix earlier this month. McMahon took to social media before "Mr. McMahon" premiered on the streaming platform and urged fans to form their own opinions.
Former WWE star addresses allegations against Vince McMahon
Alberto Del Rio recently discussed the allegations against Vince McMahon and claimed that people needed to hear both sides of the story.
In a Q&A with Sportskeeda Wrestling earlier this month, the veteran admitted that he doesn't know what the future holds for McMahon as he deals with the lawsuit against him. Del Rio added that the law system in America works to find the truth and that people should hear both sides of the story before deciding who to believe.
"To be honest, I don't know what's gonna happen because the law system works in different ways in every state, but I can tell you this, the law system in America works and it's fair and they always find the truth. Whenever they find the truth, whatever the truth is, for one side or the other, it will be a matter of people deciding if they can take the truth or not." [1:51 – 2:25]
