Linda McMahon’s Sexual Abuse Lawsuit Paused Amidst Constitutional Challenge
A Maryland lawsuit alleging Linda McMahon’s complicity in child sexual abuse by former WWE ring announcer Melvin Phillips has been temporarily halted. The suit, filed under a new state law eliminating statutes of limitations for such claims, targets McMahon and WWE for alleged abuse of “ring boys” as young as 13. The case’s progression is currently stayed pending a Maryland Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of the 2023 Child Victims Act. McMahon, who denies the allegations, is vigorously defending against the lawsuit.
